THE WALES WINDOW
"This stained glass window in Birmingham, Alabama is one of the first depictions of a black Christ in the deep South. It was donated by the people of #Wales and created by Welsh artist John Petts after a church bombing by the Ku Klux Klan killed 4 girls in 1963."

"Palm Sunday, called in Welsh Sul-y-Blodau, was celebrated in several ways in #Wales. In some parts all the graves in churchyards, cemeteries, and burial-places are decorated with flowers. But in rural places #Easter Day is celebrated in this way."
