Peaceful

Here we have the main stained glass window inside Knox Presbyterian. It was the design of a Scottish artist, William Wilson, and takes as its theme the birth of Christ


I looked back down the aisle.


Another look to the altar.


I headed up to the balcony. This sitting area is found here.


The balcony stained glass is also by Wilson- two decades after he designed the first. He was losing his sight at this point in his life but dictated his design to a colleague, who carried out the work. The theme of this window is Revelations.


A look into the sanctuary below.


I came out into the garden courtyard.
