EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning stained glass window, titled "Faith and Charity" is a masterpiece created by Henry Holiday in 1871. Located at St Mary's Church in Burnham Market, UK, this artwork showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of James Powell & Sons, who manufactured it. The window depicts two cardinal virtues personified as women: Faith and Charity. The neo-Gothic style adds an ethereal touch to the scene, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the allegorical figures to life. Faith holds a cross symbolizing spirituality and trust in God, while Charity cradles a baby representing kindness and giving. The composition exudes Victorian elegance with its Pre-Raphaelite influences. The bright hues captivate viewers' attention as they admire the delicate features of these female figures. The inscription "Therefore shall I lack nothing" reminds us of the Lord's guidance and provision. This stained glass artwork beautifully captures the essence of faith and charity through its symbolism and artistic execution. It serves as a reminder for all who visit St Mary's Church to embody these virtues in their daily lives. Alastair Carew-Cox has skillfully photographed this magnificent piece, preserving its beauty for generations to come. His work allows us to appreciate not only Holiday's artistry but also the profound impact stained glass windows have had on religious architecture throughout history.
