"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, Swiss American psychiatrist
In keeping with its neo-Gothic design, the San Sebastian Church (see previous two posts) has several beautiful rose windows. I'm not sure who the saint in the middle is, but if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say it was Mark the Evangelist, who is sometimes depicted with a lion and whose symbol is a winged lion.
A wise quote and a great image!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful rose, Hilda!
ReplyDeleteI guess also that is Mark the Evangelist.
It's lovely Hilda!
ReplyDeleteIt's a spectacular image, Hilda.
ReplyDeleteI love stained-glass windows wherever they are found and this is very nice. Your photo is perfect, too!

ReplyDeleteYou should link this this coming Sunday to inSPIREd Sunday. :-)
This is a gorgeous window, regardless of the identity of the saint.
