Looking Heavenward: The Ascension of Christ Panel #16625
This exquisite stained glass triptych portrays the moment of Christ's Ascension into heaven, as witnessed by His followers. At the center, Jesus gazes heavenward, arms raised in a gesture of divine unity, reflecting His return to the Father. The inscription above reads:
"I ascend unto my Father and your Father, to my God and your God,"
a direct quote from John 20:17, emphasizing the shared relationship between Christ, His Father, and His followers.
The disciples, positioned on either side, express awe and reverence, their postures conveying the profound impact of witnessing this pivotal event. Mary, dressed in radiant red and blue, kneels in the central panel, embodying faith and devotion, while other disciples, with a mix of joy and astonishment, look upward in wonder.
The vivid colors, intricate detailing, and harmonious composition create a sense of divine transcendence and hope, inviting viewers to meditate on the glory and mystery of Christ’s Ascension.
A religious window like this would make a good addition to a house of worship or a hospital chapel.
