Resurrection Pleiades
Resurrection Pleiades
Red world of chaos roars
Razed stain glass in ruins
Ravished light - shattered shards -
Recalls worship voices
Radiant remnants saved
Reshaped enlightenment
Remembered light redeemed
Inspired by the exhibit Remembered Light. During WW2 Rev. Frederick MacDonald collected shards of shattered stained glass cathedral windows while searching out places for US troops to worship on Sundays. He labeled these shards and pieces he had collected and sent them home. Many years later he shared the story with a young glazier who, upon seeing them, suggested they be reworked into new stained glass windows. The result is 25 stunning new windows. The exhibit is called Remembered Light.
