19th century Stained glass window in St Cuthberts Chapel on Inner Farne Island Northumberland

19th century Stained glass window in St Cuthberts Chapel on Inner Farne Island Northumberland depicting a pelican in her piety. The Pelican-in-her-Piety is an allegorical depiction of Jesus Christ, in both His sacrificial love and resurrection. In an age when literacy was limited, the image of the Pelican-in-her-Piety would have been recognisable and understood by everyone who saw it and was, in particular, interpreted as being symbolic of the Eucharist

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning 19th-century stained glass window, nestled within the historic St Cuthberts Chapel on Inner Farne Island, Northumberland. Capturing both beauty and symbolism, it depicts a majestic pelican in her piety. Intriguingly, this avian artwork holds a deeper meaning beyond its vibrant colors and intricate details. The Pelican-in-her-Piety is an allegorical representation of Jesus Christ himself – embodying sacrificial love and resurrection. Back in those days when literacy was scarce, this image served as a universal language that touched hearts and minds alike. Imagine the awe-inspiring sight as visitors to St Cuthberts Chapel gazed upon this masterpiece! Its significance would have resonated with all who beheld it, particularly symbolizing the sacred act of Eucharist. This extraordinary piece by David Tipling transports us to an era where birds mingled with people's spiritual beliefs. It reminds us how art can transcend time and culture, speaking volumes even without words. So let your imagination take flight as you admire this religious marvel – a testament to faith beautifully captured through stained glass magic. Let it inspire you to appreciate the power of symbols that unite generations across centuries.
