Acts of Mercy

1898 Two-light window. technique: stained glass firm/studio: Clayton & Bell Church of St Cyngar, Llangefni, Anglesey south wall of the chancel Text with angels above: 'To do good and to distribute forget not' (Hebrews 13:16). Given in memory of Mrs M.E. Williams, who was married to the rector. The two scenes show acts of mercy, although the scene in the left-hand light is not clear: a woman gives a large piece of fabric to a child, which probably represents 'clothing the naked'. The women attending a man in bed in the right-hand light depicts the visiting of the sick.  (ObjectID=5462 ImageID=10715) Original File Name=Llangefni_DSC9363-71B.jpg
