Gardening Saints

Saint Fiacre and Saint Dorothy:


Patron Saints of Gardening

Lettered into the border of each window:

The kiss of the sun for pardon,

the song of the birds for mirth,

One is nearer God's heart in a garden

than anywhere else on Earth.

From The Lord God Made a Garden

By Dorothy Gurney 1858 - 1932

Installation

Packing and delivering the stained glass

The stained glass windows are packed tightly together with sheets of protective paper in between layers:

They travel upright on a glass rack:

And are unloaded and carried into the church individually and upright:

Choices

The robe was first a lovely swirling blue.

But upon further consideration, the artist noticed that the window directly across from this one had a lot more red, creating a color imbalance in the overall effect of the church when viewed from afar.

So the glass was replaced with a red robe for better balance.
