Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

The halo emitting from Jesus is the a tri-partite halo, with a superimposed crown of thorns, foreshadowing the day ahead. The sky is dark with only a sliver of moon visible. Jesus is kneeling in foliage.

This window was originally installed in Maxwell Parish Church, 113 Pollock Street, Glasgow, which was demolished around 1966-1969. This window, along with others were removed from the Church before demolition. This window was resized and reworked in order to present the current panel in a light box. 1 of 4 windows in the Chapel.
