Our attention is immediately drawn to "The Good Samaritan window" a magnificent piece of stained glass art that tells a timeless story of compassion and selflessness. The scene depicted within the window is both vivid and poignant. A wounded man lies on the ground, his face etched with pain and despair. Standing beside him, bathed in ethereal light streaming through the intricately designed glass panels, is the Samaritan - an embodiment of kindness and empathy. With gentle hands, he tends to the injured stranger's wounds, offering solace amidst their shared humanity. This medieval masterpiece not only showcases remarkable craftsmanship but also serves as a powerful reminder of our collective responsibility towards one another.
