[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]by B. van Cleve<\/em><\/p>\n

The ‘Three NT Stories’ window is situated on the east side of the church. It does not have the deep, rich colours typical for Kempe windows and the halo of Jesus does not show the typical three \u2018Fleurs de Lys\u2019 in two of the lights, but only simpler line embellishments. Also no Kempe logo could be found. But ‘The Kempe Stained Glass in the UK and Ireland’ states that this window was completed in 1882.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7576″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]This window consists of three lights. Every light is dedicated to a different person.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_single_image image=”7577″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]The first light shows John the Baptist with halo in the background. He is dressed in very plain clothes and is carrying a standard with a cross.<\/p>\n

Two disciples, Andrew and John, both with halo and in richly ornamented clothing, are depicted on the left side of the light. The banner floating above their heads reads:<\/p>\n

\n

Rabbi, where dwellest thou<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Jesus is depicted on the right side. He has a halo, which is segmented in the same way as in most of the Kempe windows, but it does not show the typical \u2018Fleurs de Lys\u2019. His clothes are richly ornamented. The banner by his head reads:<\/p>\n

\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”7578″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]The dedicational text<\/a> for this light reads:<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_single_image image=”7579″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]The second light shows three women with halo at the empty tomb. Two angels are

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_single_image image=”7581″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” css=””][vc_column_text css=””]The third light shows the stoning of Stephen. He is depicted kneeling and praying. An angry crowd with clenched fists and stones is gathered in the background. Jesus, with \u2018Fleurs de Lys\u2019 in his halo, is standing bent slightly forward, watching the scene from above.
