They seemed to float out of nowhere. I was on one of my afternoon wanders around the cemetery and felt a pull to explore an alley near one of my favourite windows (my Christmas angel – I’ll introduce her to you another time). Suddenly, I happened upon Jesus & Mary Magdalene in this exquisite strip of a stained glass window, soaked with light. Tears in my eyes, I stood spellbound.

 
A glimmer of a reflected column takes the focus to Mary, draped sensuously over Jesus, with her swathes of scarlet and saffron fabric, exposed shoulders and rippling hair. The scene is stretched wide and shallow and positioned high in the otherwise dark tomb, giving the impression that the figures are suspended, as if by divine act of levitation.
