Stained Glass from St. Ann’s Church (Holy Family Parish)
This window shows Mary Magdalen meeting Jesus after his resurrection. An appropriate theme for today’s post, as many Christians are still celebrating Easter. For Catholics, the Easter season lasts until Pentecost, 50 days after Easter Sunday; the Greek Orthodox haven’t celebrated Easter at all yet – apparently it’s on May 5 for them this year.

More Stained Glass from St. Ann’s
It’s been a while since I shared some of the gorgeous stained glass from St. Ann’s Church.

Gloucester sea serpent?
No, Jonah getting swallowed by the big fish. Who knows, though; maybe the two denizens of the deep were related…
Another of the wonderful sea-themed windows in St. John’s Episcopal Church.

Beyond a doubt, one of the most beautiful depictions of this kind and theme I’ve ever seen. More info about the windows in this series of my posts is available on the church’s website.

Monkeys and Peacocks: trivia answer
The peacocks and monkeys I posted yesterday are from a window in St. John’s Episcopal Church in Gloucester. They (the church, not the monkeys and peacocks) graciously gave me permission to go photograph their stained glass windows, which are GORGEOUS. I highly recommend visiting to see them. The church is open for prayer and meditation Monday through Thursday, 8 a.m. to noon, and they don’t mind if you look at the windows too…
Here is a shot of the full window:
Almost all the windows feature ships, boats, or other nautical themes from the bible. I’ll post more photos and info over the coming days. These windows are a real treasure!

Monkeys and Peacocks: a stained glass trivia question
These delightful critters are disembarking from a boat on a stained glass window somewhere in Gloucester. Do you know where? I’ll post the answer (and more photos of the window) tomorrow.

We can all use some hope…
…which is represented by an anchor in Christian iconography. Nice nautical imagery for a stained glass window in Gloucester. I expect we’ll be hearing a lot about hope as this election year goes forward.
Wherever you find your hope, share it with someone who needs it. Hope grows when we share it, and the more people are inspired by it, the better chance it has of coming true.

Architectural detail in St. Ann stained glass window
Another detail from a stained glass window in St. Ann’s Church in Gloucester (part of Holy Family Parish).
We usually focus on the people and events in the window and can easily overlook the wonderful attention to detail in the backgrounds…
Eventually I hope to photograph the stained glass windows in other churches in Gloucester. Any suggestions of churches with really great windows besides St. Ann’s?

St. Ann’s windows are real works of art. There are lots of details that can easily go unnoticed.
