Many thanks for this beautiful Sunday-pic, Bill! The spiritual light of this modern window is unique- I too like it very much! "Light and Life to all He brings" is the message of the glass artist Mollie Meager (as I googled)! Only Beethoven's music (your idea/experiment is great!) sounds a bit too sad for me at this moment, for I' m longing for some cheers up (after a week with some trouble- my mother fell down, broke some ribs, but now- thanks to God- she is recreating); tonight I'll listen to Donicetti's opera "Lucia di Lammermoor"! I wish you and yours a lovely day! Many thanks!
Bill Phillips: I hope your mother continues to recover well. Give her my best wishes. Later this year (October) at Worcester Cathedral there is to be a performance of Verdi's requiem and then in December Handel's Messiah. We are hoping to go to both
Lovely window, and a lovely bit of photography. I like it.
Bill Phillips: Thanks Sheila. It is a lovely little window

I read that the glass window shows the first days of Creation (Genesis 1)
"3 And God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day. 6 And God said, "Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." 7 And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. 9 And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good."
Bill Phillips: Well there was certainly plenty of light and it was good!
You have excelled today Bill, I'm am listening to the Beethoven as I type this, wonderful. I envy you the concerts in Worcester Cathedral later this year, I've sung Messiah twice when I was in a local choir a few years back but sadly never the Verdi. Posting of the day for me, well done.
Bill Phillips: I hope we can get tickets...We went to the Verdi at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham a while back..with the hall's perfect acoustics. but hearing it in a Cathedral will be special
