Storridge Church, An Historical Tour

East Window - wide centre light

The unusually wide centre light depicts Christ crucified, but his arms appear outstretched as if welcoming and embracing. His face was described by a former rector as lovely – sad but not perplexed, because he knows what he is doing, and how it will lead to salvation for mankind. Unusually, he has a nail in each foot, both nailing the head of the serpent which led Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:15). The cross itself is a tree of life from which hang twelve fruits. This is a reference to Revelation 22:2: “The tree of life… yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
