Installed in 1967, this is the fhe first and largest of the windows designed by Marc Chagall for All Saints' Tudeley, in Kent. It is a memorial to Sarah d'Avigdor-Goldsmid, daughter of a local landowner, who drowned in a sailing accident off the Isle of Wight at the age of 21.

Combining elements from Sarah's life and death in graphic detail, it moves from despair in the dark , swirling seas of the bottom lights , to hope and the joy in the brighter colours of the top lights, where a crucified Christ awaits Sarah's arrival with welcoming arms out-stretched.

Sarah was the daughter of a Jewish father and an Anglican mother but had been brought up as an Anglican. Having a keen interest in art, she had seen and admired the Twelve Tribes of Israel windows which Chagall had designed for the Hadassah Medical Centre synagogue in Ein Karem, Jerusalem, when they were displayed in Paris prior to their installation. Her parents, therefore, decided to ask Chagall, a Jew himself but with a strong spiritual sense which crossed religious boundaries, to design the memorial window, which he duly did.

If you look on the church website you can also see one of Chagall's earlier sketches for this same window but featuring Sarah floating in a kind of sea of flowers. It's under the heading 'The window that never was' at www.tudeley.org/allsaintstudeley.htm

The medieval stone church in Lammi was built in the 15th century and was dedicated to Saina Catherine of Alexandria. The whole inside of the church was destroyed in a fire in 1918 and after that was totally renovated in 1920

A pretty medieval window by night in Carcassonne (France).

I like the cold/warm colours contrast.
