Dove of the Holy Spirit
1887
Single-light window. A dove amid rays of light hovers in the clouds over waters below, with light shining down from above. The surrounding glass includes a repeated pattern of crowns with stars.
size: 35 cm (width)Church of St Catwg, Llangattock, Powyssouth wall of the nave (baptistry)
Although dated 1887, the design and execution is reminiscent of glass painting from the earlier part of the century.The dove hovering over the waters is suggestive of the Holy Spirit over the waters of baptism, and perhaps also of the wind or spirit of God over the waters in Genesis 1:2. The light above represents the light of God the Father. (ObjectID=3998 ImageID=7356) Original File Name=Llangattock_DSC3057A.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin. Last updated on 13-12-2011
