Ruby Tuesday 2 and stained glass - are a perfect pairing. We attend a Congregational church in nearby Derby. Built in 1821, the sanctuary structure is the usual Puritan stark* - white, wood, angular and no frills nor style. Just like its 17-19th century dour practitioners. However, the offices and meeting room were built after 1900 have many a stained glass window that were donated by worshipers. These portals look magnificent with sunlight light filtering through the artistic and colorful effects. Lots of ruby for RT2...
* - Unlike the US Episcopalian church which derived from the Anglican/Church of England - those churches tend to be more ornate than the white buildings that dot the New England town squares. Not Westminster ornate perhaps, but not undecorated white wood either...

Oh very timely for the Lenten season!
I love stained glass windows; am fortunate enough to have visited La Sainte Chapelle in Paris - the most beautiful examples I've ever seen!
Wonderful rubies here, too, Ralph!
Such wonderful rubies you are serving today.
Jesus, the Shepherd and also the lamb sacrificed for us.
Good themes for lent time.
The colors gives the church room warm colors and I'm sure it's a good place to be.
Beautiful!
Have a wonderful day!
