Description
A stained glass window in Saint Andrew's Church, which serves the rural parishes of Aldringham and Thorpeness in Suffolk, England, tells the biblical story of four men who brought their paralytic friend to Jesus. Because the house was so crowded, they made a hole in the roof and with ropes lowered the crippled man on his mat down to Jesus. For the whole story, you may want to read Mark 2:1-12. An inscription below the biblical scene reads: This window was placed here in grateful memory of Letitia Caroline Susannah Cannon who died November 8th 1896 aged 81 years, helpless from paralysis during 11 1/2 years. She abounded in most generous gifts to the poor, the church, the churchyard and the endowment. Copyright 2012 Ann Horn. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.

Thank you for your enthusiastic response. Bob... due in large part, I suspect, because of the window itself. At least that was the case with me.

Bruce, I very much appreciate your selection of Which Is Easter? as a feature in the Architecture group. Thanks!

Erica and Sue, your gracious compliments should go to whomever, whenever produced this window... but nevertheless, let me say thank you.

Many thanks, Gary. Though I have seen a great number of stained glass windows, I don't recall ever having seen one portraying this incident. Located in a small off-the-beaten-path parish church in rural Suffolk, this large window is magnificent.
