A simple feast
This stained glass window is located over the door of the chapel of the Loyola Retreat House in the town of Angono in the province of Rizal where we had a spiritual retreat last April. I thought it appropriate to post today because many Filipinos will be attending Mass in celebration of the Nativity of Our Lady. It is not a holiday but it is a holy day in this largely Catholic country.

I really like this stained glass window. More modern and simple in design.
Yes, it's simple but very colourful. It's not overloaded with informations. I like it.

Sorry for my sporadic commenting lately. My MiL is in town from Germany and have not had so much time to look at the computer (which is a good thing).
This is a beautiful window. The colors are wonderful and the simplicity is absolutely elegant.

I too loved stained glass windows. I like the simplicity of this one and the joyous colour.
You do have a lot of beautiful stained glass in your country!
"[Christ's] mission and work it is to help against sin and death, to justify and bring life. He has placed his help in baptism and the Sacrament of the Eucharist, and incorporated it in the Word and preaching. To our eyes Baptism appears to be nothing more than ordinary water, and the Sacrament of Christ's body and blood simple bread and wine, like other bread and wine, and the sermon, hot air from a man's mouth. But we must not trust what our eyes see."
"First Sunday in Advent" from the Complete Sermons of Martin Luther
