about 1862 Two-light window. Jesus walks on the water holding his hand out to St Peter, while other disciples look on from the boat. technique: stained glass size: 65 cm (width) [approx] firm/studio: William Wailes Fisherman's Chapel, Angle, Pembrokeshire east wall Stylistically the window would accord with a date of 1862, when Elizabeth Mirehouse provided for the restoration of the chapel. Inscription: Lord help me for I perish. The passage is Matthew 14:24-33. The words"for I perish" have here been added to Peter's cry in v.30. An appropriate image for a Fishermen's chapel. The figure of Christ is seen walking on the water, reaching out to the sinking Peter. (Matthew 14:30) As with the stilling of the storm window in the same chapel, the message is the necessity of faith, even in the face of adversity.  (ObjectID=426 ImageID=608) Original File Name=_MG_0938.jpg
