Seedlings and signature

Detail of one of a pair of windows by artist, Tom Denny, in the church of St Felix, Felixstowe, Suffolk. Installed in autumn 2018 they tell the story of St Faustina and her visions of the Divine Mercy.

 

In the left hand light of this window we see St Faustina herself, in her cell in the convent at Plock and experiencing one of her many visions. In the right hand light are shown people approaching a fork in the road, as they choose to move on to heaven or hell. The seedlings in the lower part of the window are a reference to Faustina's work as a gardener when she lived in a convent in what is now Vilnius but which, during her life time (1905 - 1938) was still in her native Poland. The tiny picture at the top is an image of Christ meeting the Woman at the Well.

 

The artist's signature and date of the window ( 2018) are at the right hand bottom corner.
