This stained or painted glass is at the top of another large window. It's a portrayal of the story of Abraham and Isaac, and I love the detail - the angel with his hand on Abraham's arm, Isaac as a young man, not a child as is often portrayed, and the ram caught by the horns in the thicket. The makers of these windows seem to have had real understanding or strong traditions about scriptural events. The green and red robes represent priesthood in a lot of these windows.
