Staeind glass depicting Saint Francis of Assisi. The figure, clothes in brown monk's robes, stands surrounded by animals including a deer, a rabbit, and a squirrel, and several birds. There are trees in the background.

St. Paul's ripping yarn continues and in today's #lectionary#stainedglass is another panel from the window in St. Paul's church, Bedford which featured a few days ago.

Stained glass panel depicting Saint Paul, dressed in a red robe, on board a ship, in earnest conversation with a Roman centurion who is holding a sword. In front of them a sailor throws a line overboard. Behind them several other sailors are in states of agitation. The ships sail is in tatters overhead and in the background are huge waves and a dark sky.

Hear, hear! Unhinged billionaires need to have their money taken away and spent on things which protect *this* planet from people like them.

We have only one planet we can live on, and we seem intent on messing it up. I fear talk of colonising space is a dangerous and distracting myth

In #lectionary#stainedglass today is this window in Holy Cross church, Yelling, Cambridgeshire depicting St. Paul making his defence to Agrippa and Bernice (Acts 26). It's by Frederick Preedy from 1869.

Stained glass in two panels. In the left, Agrippa and Bernice are seated with a Roman soldier, holding the fasces, to their right. In the right hand panel, St. Paul stands, his right hand raised. Behind him stand two Roman soldiers. The floor is richly patterned, and in the background are red-coloured pillars with Corinthian capitals.

In #lectionary#stainedglass today, Paul defends himself before Festus (Acts 25 - I think it's this one because of the coded Jewish figure behind Paul) Glass in Lincoln Cathedral.

Stained glass panel of Saint Paul defending himself before Festus. In the foreground to the left Paul stands, facing the seated Festus on the left. Pauls arms are raised in rhetorical gesture, but his wrists are chained together. In the background behind Paul stands a figure in the dress of a Jewish priest, and behind Festus stands a Roman soldier with a spear.

Today's #lectionary#stainedglass is from the morning prayer reading in Acts 23 when Paul is 'rescued' from a plot against his life in Jerusalem. Nearly 500 Roman troops take Paul from Jerusalem to Caesarea by night.

Stained glass panel depicting a night scene with Saint Paul in a red cloak but barefoot in the foreground. Behind him are a large group of Roman soldiers, some on horseback, some with spears, one holding an SPQR banner. In the far background is a fortified city on a rocky outcrop.

Today's reading from Mark's Gospel has Jesus telling his followers to welcome children in his name. Today's #lectionary#stainedglass is by Joseph Nuttgens (1953) in St. Andrew's church, Soham.

Stained glass window showing the central standing figure of Jesus in a red robe, surrounded by 21 children of different nationalities all dressed in their national costumes. All the figures are looking out at the viewer.

Shocked* at how the BBC and other media have given the new Labour UK government no breathing space whatsoever before starting the unrelenting negative coverage, and attacking and undermining them over trivial issues. *not shocked
