Creation Day 6

An angel holds a globe representing the Creation of Humankind. Interestingly, an angelic musician accompanies this, as if to show heaven's rejoicing at the Creation of the rational animal, the only creature God has created "for its own sake", as the Catechism puts it.

 

Windows designed by Burne Jones and made by Morris & Co. of the pre-Raphaelite school, were installed in the then-Unitarian chapel of Manchester College, Oxford, c.1893-8. A stunning ruby glass is used throughout and the designs are striking with beautiful faces.
