Sunday's Psalm--Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary









The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.






The queen takes her place at your right hand in gold of Ophir.







St. Margaret window--St. Margaret's Chapel, Edinburgh Castle







The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.





Hear, O daughter, and see; turn your ear,


forget your people and your father’s house.







window--the Crucifixion and the Ascension--St. Giles High Kirk--Edingburgh









The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.





So shall the king desire your beauty;


for he is your lord.








workers window--St. Mary's Cathedral--Newcastle upon Tyne


The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.

They are borne in with gladness and joy;
they enter the palace of the king.
The queen stands at your right hand, arrayed in gold.

from Psalm 45

The last window is the rose window from Lincoln Cathedral in Lincoln. Imagine the use of these windows in their early existence--this one telling more than two dozen Bible stories for the illiteral population.
