JESUS BLESSES A LITTLE CHILD
This is a close up of the 5' by 9' tall leaded windows. Jesus performed many miracles, curing the sick, the blind, the lame and even the lepers. As his reputation grew, multitudes of people came to listen to see him and to receive his blessings. Jesus had a special feeling for children. Here in the stained glass window, a mother kneels before Jesus, asking for a blessing or possibly a miracle to cure her small child. Posted by Picasa
