Object Description
An antique stained glass window of St Edward. This dramatic stained glass window reads ‘St Edward’ paired with religious crests to either side while the night sky surrounds the religious figure.
Competently painted, this window is a stunning and detailed interior feature inspired by the saint.
The vivid colours would look striking flooded with daylight in a traditional home, a sympathetically decorated converted chapel or ecclesiastical building.
St Edward
King Edward, also known as Edward the Confessor, ruled between 1042 to 1066. This affluent figure was renowned for his generosity and piety, considered a gentle and devoted ruler.
Edward spent almost half his life in Normandy; here he made a vow of chastity, served at masses and developed the reputation of having a saintly character.
He was canonised in 1161 and become known as Edward the Confessor, meaning he was a saint who did not die a martyr’s death but whose life proclaimed their faith.
In commemoration of this affluent figure, St Edward’s feast day is on October 13th.
