Heavenly Light…..Simple and Complex

Heavenly-Light

Marienkirche, Rostock, Germany

Majestically tall glass windows at Marienkirche (St Marys) dwarf the congregation.  Plain as the windows are they still  let a heavenly light……maybe at one time in the history of Marienkirche they were coloured windows (see bottom of the right window).

A large contrast to the window in this small Church at Ilam in Derbyshire….

Window-Ilam

Church of the Holy Cross, Ilam, Derbyshire

The story of the Birth of Christ told in coloured glass and casting a different heavenly light.
