More from this beautiful stained glass window above the chancel in Knox Presbyterian Church today.
Here we have the steps into the main pulpit.
I headed up the stairs to the balcony.
Up here, there is a quiet sitting area near the balcony seating.
And the view from the balcony is a wonder.
The stained glass window takes as its theme the book of Revelation. It was designed by William Wilson, the same Scottish artist who designed and installed the east window over the chancel, but two decades later. By this stage in his life, he was blind, but dictated his vision of the window to another artist, who carried out his work.
One more view in the sanctuary.
On the south exterior of the church is a beautiful garden space.
It is a beautiful, magnificent church.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteBeautiful stained glass windows.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
Delete..."Sanctuary" has become a dirty word here.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately.
DeleteI love beautiful churches and this one certainly fits that description. That glass -- wow!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI not only love the stained glass, I really appreciate that some panels say who is being depicted. That way some of the symbolism might have more meaning for me. I'm not up on saints enough to recognized them by the symbols alone.
ReplyDeleteWell put.
DeleteMore awesome and serene church photos ~ thanks,
