York - All Saints Pavement
York, All Saints' Pavement, wI
This glass came from the nearby redundant church of St Saviour, Saviourgate and includes scenes from a Passion cycle. Late 14th century.
All Saints' church, Pavement, York
West window
The window contains glass removed from the church of Saint Saviour, Saviourgate, it dates from the late 14th century.
The tracery contains twelve single figures, including God the Father with papal tiara, the Virgin, several figures from a Last Judgment and four early 14th-century roundels.
The main lights contain small panels flanking the Passion scenes in the three central lights. In 6a–6e are pinnacled canopies, all of the same design. The Passion scenes, each under a subcanopy, represent: (5b) Nailing to the Cross; (5c) Crucifixion; (5d) Deposition; (4b) Entombment; (4c) Harrowing of Hell; (4d) Resurrection; (3b) two Maries and Angel at empty tomb; (3c) Noli me Tangere; (3d) supper at Emmaus, (2b) Doubting Thomas, the sub-canopy of a different design; (2c) Angel in canopied niche flanked by birds, mid 14th-century; (2d) Ascension. In outer lights, (5a) Crucifixion; (4a) Man of Sorrows, late 15th-century; (5e) Trinity, and (4e) shield with Passion emblems.

West Window
The unique mid-14th century west window depicts the Passion and Resurrection of Chirst: especially good quality are the panels showing the nailing of Christ to the cross, the Deposition (when He was taken down) and the Ascension, with Christ’s feet disappearing upwards. These images are thought to have influenced the way these Biblical stories were depicted in the medieval Mystery Plays which are still performed today. There is also a very good Arma Christi, instruments of the Passion arranged as a coat of arms. This window was relocated from the church of St Saviour when that church became redundant (it is now the York Archaeological Trust’s Big Dig) and it took two years’ work by the York Glaziers’ Trust to conserve and reconstruct it.
