Holy Trinity, Embleton, Northumberland

I'm was reminded of lines written by the great poet laureate Si John Betjeman when I saw this depiction of the Nativity in stained glass...

 

And is it true,

This most tremendous tale of all,

Seen in a stained-glass window's hue,

A Baby in an ox's stall?

The Maker of the stars and sea

Become a Child on earth for me?

 

From 'Christmas' by John Betjeman
