The Transfiguration - Tewkesbury Abbey

 

The subject of this window by Hardman (1892) is Christ in Glory with the prophets Moses and Elijah to the left and right. Above Moses is the stoning of St. Stephen, and above Elijah is a vision of John's New Jerusalem. The inscription reads: "This Is My Beloved Son * In Whom I Am Well Pleased * Hear Ye Him"

 

The lower panels show representations of Peter, James, and John. The inscription above and below these figures is: "Lord It Is Good For Us To Be Here * If Thou Wilt Let Us Make Here * Three Tabernacles * On For Thee * One For Moses * And One for Elias"
