S7 Jesus Calls Peter and Andrew and Christ healing the sick
In memory of Maud Christine Rickard. This window is placed here by her father 1936.
In the left hand light Jesus calls Peter and Andrew. Jesus is seen facing Peter and Andrew on their fishing boat hauling on the net. At the top of the light are shown the keys of St Peter, “the word of God” and the cross of St Andrew.
In the panel below Jesus is calling Matthew, the tax gatherer, who is sitting at a table with money bags.
The right hand light shows Christ healing the sick (left). Depicted are two men carrying a third between them and a kneeling woman cradling a child; all are facing Christ standing with His right hand outstretched. At the top of the light are shown the fountain of the living waters and the trees whose leaves are for the healing of the nations.
In the predella is illustrated the scene at the pool of Bethesda with a man lying on his sick bed and a lame man in the background. The centre piece of tracery contains the emblem of the pelican feeding its young with its own blood, a symbol of love.
