2/2 St Martha by King & Son, 1983 at Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk. Martha is a spiky character, admonishing her sister Mary and telling Christ that their brother Lazarus would not have died if he'd been there. But even so, 'Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus'.
3/3 Two more panels at Thurton by Robert Allen of Lowestoft, St Peter and St Simon. Samuel Yarrington was as usual setting a glass collection on behalf of a wealthy client, and as often included panels made either by himself (there are some of his here too) or by Allen.
The Journey to Emmaus. The Risen Christ (centre) joins two travellers on the road who do not recognise him. They talk, and he explains the meaning of the events they've just witnessed in Jerusalem. 17c continental glass at Hoveton St John, Norfolk. 1/3
2/2 The disciples asleep in another detail of the same window. The faces are Kempe-ish, and yet...

'If this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.' A detail of an intriguing window at Risby, Suffolk, of 1897 with a continental style village in the mountains beyond. There appears to be no record of the workshop. 1/2 #HolyWeek #MaundyThursday
2/3 Ferrar was a royal courtier and MP for Lymington. The family fortunes were heavily invested in the Virginia Company, but when they were lost the family retreated to Little Gidding, their new community focusing on constant prayer, care of the local labourers and bookbinding.
Candlemas today, and details of the Presentation in the Temple by O'Connor, 1870s at Rickinghall Superior, Suffolk, a redundant church in the care of @TheCCT. There is a light that never goes out.
'Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy. That is not our business and in fact it is nobody's business. What we are asked to do is to love' - Thomas Merton, Trappist monk and mystic, born #OTD 1915.
