War memorial window

Sacrifice, stained glass window

Four window lights following the theme of 'Sacrifice as it is understood by Faith'. The top panels depicting the sacrifice of the altar and the sacrifice of the battlefield are represented by Abraham offering up Isaac (Genesis 22) and David destroying Goliath (1 Samuel 17) respectively. The supreme sacrifice of Christ's crucifixion is also depicted in the upper sections of the right hand window. The lower two panels show the sacrifice of Calvary (Matthew 27, Mark 15, Luke 23, John). The central panels represent the horrors of war and the lower panels represent discipline and pity.
