Thank you Margaret Starbird, Trista Lee Hendren Løberg and words from Yasmin Anukit: This striking stained glass window shows a young man portrayed with the usual features attributed to Jesus (including the traditional Nazarite central parting of the hair) with a halo above his head, holding hands with a woman without a halo. The woman can clearly be seen to be portrayed pregnant with her girdle painted below her abdomen rather than around her waist. The key to the identity of this woman is made plain by the gospel text which appears immediately below the pregnant woman. It reads: Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. This statement, made by Christ himself, which directly relates to Mary Magdalene, sometimes referred to as Mary of Bethany, can be found in the Gospel of Luke, ch.10, v.42 Thank you, thank you, and thank you, for this show of unity!
