St. John the Divine window
12 / 71

St. John the Divine window

Donated by the armourers. Panel 1 not original (flight to Egypt), panels 2 & 3 show the armourers fashioning a shield and making stirrups. Panels 4 & 5 show his exile on Patmos and writing the book of Revelation (with 7 lampstands in background). Panels 6 & 7 depict raising Drusiana from the dead. Panels 8 - 12 depict activities dealing with renouncing wealth and dead newly wed Stactus who he would raise from the dead. Panels 13 & 14 deal with being forced to drink poison and living (though other bad people died from drinking the poison). The remaing panels deal with his death and reception in Heaven.
