The subject for this beautiful stained-glass window comes from Mark 10: Christ blesses young children which were brought to him while he preached. Christ is seated beneath a tree, with a trio of haloed figures behind him. A child sits on his lap, as two older children sit and stand by his side; a young woman carries a fourth child before him. The setting is verdant, with scattered buildings lining the close horizon. The glass is brilliantly coloured, with bright blues and greens predominating, accented by the red of Christ’s robe.
