#StainedGlass #window in St Ethelbert's Church, Herringswell, #Suffolk U.K. It's a depiction of St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters, archers, and #dogs . St. Hubert (aka Hubertos) is considered to be the originator of ethical hunting behavior for Catholics. His Feast Day is November 3rd.

St. Hubert's story holds that after the death of his wife, the nobleman went to live in the woods. There, he saw a stag with a cross glowing between its horns, and took it as a sign from God.

[Window in memory of Llewellyn Sidney Davies, designed by H.W.Luxford.]

A famous #StainedGlass window, at #StGilesCathedral in #Edinburgh.

The window tells the story of the 1570 assassination of the Earl of Moray, who had the ignoble honor of being the first politician to be assassinated by a gun.

The top panel shows him getting shot by James Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh (a man who was angry that his family had been evicted from their home by Moray). Hamilton later escaped safely to France, and members of Moray's political enemies (kin to #MaryQueenOfScots ) were tried and convicted of taking part in the conspiracy.

The bottom panel shows his funeral, officiated by Rev. John Knox (who made an exception to his Protestant Reformationist beliefs in order to speak at the funeral).

This window was made in 1881 by James Ballatine and Son. Links and more information about the many beautiful windows at St. Giles are in the comments below.

Much of the #Superman movie #ManOfSteel was filmed near me, when the small town of #Plano #Illinois was remade to become #Smallville . This window at the Plano Methodist Church was used in the scene where #ClarkKent ( #HenryCavill ) is talking to a preacher about sacrificing himself in order to save the world from Zod.

This #StainedGlass #window was used as background symbolism in that scene, because it depicts Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, before sacrificing himself on the cross for all mankind (Matthew 26:36-46).

Every year, the town of Plano hosts a Superman Celebration, and visitors can see some of the places where scenes were filmed. I was also fortunate enough to visit when the set was days away from production, and see everything that had been done to the town in preparation. (I will post those images sometime later.)
