#ImageOfTheDay on the Feast of #Pentecost.

⁦‪St Cuthbert’s Haydon Bridge‬⁩ has windows depicting the entire liturgical year from Christmas through to the Ascension.

But what about Pentecost? There’s no window showing the descent of the Spirit in tongues of fire, or of Jesus breathing the Spirit into his apostles.

And yet, Pentecost is clearly there, in this early 20th century window of the Works of Mercy that express the Holy Spirit’s agency in human acts of care & compassion.
