About
Talk by Dr. David Hume entitled "Stained Glass Stories." Many of our churches and buildings are adorned with stained glass, the beauty of which is often breathtaking and can enlighten us with their stories. In this presentation Dr. Hume will look at some wonderful examples, many from the East Antrim area, and the stories which they have to tell. There are stories of emigrants, prominent people, victims of the First World War, and commemorative windows in secular locations as well as the more common religious imagery which we most associate with stained glass. The talk features two of the most unique Northern Ireland stained glass church windows; portraying Santa Claus and astronauts walking on the moon. With illustrations from County Antrim, Scotland, the Republic of Ireland and Europe.
