Storridge Church, An Historical Tour

East Window - people at the foot of the cross

At the foot of the cross are 5 figures. Saint John the Evangelist, the patron saint of Storridge Church, sits holding a book - the Gospel that he wrote. The female figure with the green halo is Saint Mary Magdalene, above whom stands Saint Paul. In his right hand is the legend (in Latin, like all the inscriptions in the window) which translates: “Christ our Passover is Sacrificed for us”. The point of his sword is pinning down the serpent’s tail, as if to shield us from its lashings as the serpent dies.
