Durham Cathedral Stella Maris Window Card

Description

Durham Cathedral Stella Maris Window Card. Free UK shipping. Vertical DL greeting card, with a close up, photograph of the Stella Maris Window. This modern stained glass window inside Durham Cathedral, is found inside the Galilee Chapel. Stella Maris is a name given to the Virgin Mary meaning ‘Star of the sea.’ She is believed to give protection at sea.

In the northeast corner of the Galilee Chapel is the Stella Maris Window, designed by Leonard Evetts from Woolsington, Newcastle. As part of Durham Cathedral‘s 900th anniversary celebrations in 1993, The American Friends of Durham Cathedral donated the Stella Maris window. The window’s fascinating two-part design shows Mary on the left. The right represents Jesus Christ’s ministry in Galilee, a mountainous region located in modern-day Northern Israel. Flowing through both windows and joining them together is the sea of Galilee. Two doves representing the Holy Spirit fly down from the sky. Leonard Evetts (1909-1997) was in his eighties when he designed this window. He was awarded a Lambeth Doctorate by the Archbishop of Canterbury two years later in 1995.

“I have since frequently heard that people in many parts of the country attributed this phenomenon to the spirit of St Cuthbert.” Indeed, Cuthbert’s modus operandi when performing miracles was to control the weather.
