#StainedGlass #window in St Ethelbert's Church, Herringswell, #Suffolk U.K. It's a depiction of St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters, archers, and #dogs . St. Hubert (aka Hubertos) is considered to be the originator of ethical hunting behavior for Catholics. His Feast Day is November 3rd.

St. Hubert's story holds that after the death of his wife, the nobleman went to live in the woods. There, he saw a stag with a cross glowing between its horns, and took it as a sign from God.

[Window in memory of Llewellyn Sidney Davies, designed by H.W.Luxford.]

Much of the #Superman movie #ManOfSteel was filmed near me, when the small town of #Plano #Illinois was remade to become #Smallville . This window at the Plano Methodist Church was used in the scene where #ClarkKent ( #HenryCavill ) is talking to a preacher about sacrificing himself in order to save the world from Zod.

This #StainedGlass #window was used as background symbolism in that scene, because it depicts Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, before sacrificing himself on the cross for all mankind (Matthew 26:36-46).

Every year, the town of Plano hosts a Superman Celebration, and visitors can see some of the places where scenes were filmed. I was also fortunate enough to visit when the set was days away from production, and see everything that had been done to the town in preparation. (I will post those images sometime later.)

I don't often go to church.
But when I do it will be

"All Saints Church Daresbury".

#ChurchWindows - no, not that one this time.

Also at #Norham, the parish church is interesting*. I went in to see what these windows are like from the inside, and noticed the light through the glass was colouring the walls and floor. It didn't photograph very well.

(* It was built in the 12th century, replacing an earlier church. Although it's been substantially rebuilt over the centuries, there are some bits of the original building, including this wall. (I assume the glass has been replaced). There is also this odd pillar made from Anglo-Saxon stones stuck together.)
