A 1856 Victorian Gothic stained glass with the Good Samaritan parable in three lancets, topped by a Good Shepherd scene, reflecting Victorian moralism.

The Good Shepherd in the upper register, a Victorian reinterpretation of early Christian iconography, aligns with the era’s moral and theological focus, complementing the Samaritan’s earthly kindness with Christ’s divine model.
