Jeremiah Theme Pages
A major prophet of the Old Testament, Jeremiah warned the people of Judah about the coming destruction of Jerusalem due to their unfaithfulness to God. Known as the “weeping prophet” for his sorrow over his nation’s sins, he urged repentance and faithfulness, and his writings emphasize both divine judgment and hope for renewal.
This stained glass panel from 1338-1340 represents the bearded prophet Jeremiah, and can be found in the north clerestory window of Tewkesbury Abbey.
