Stained Glass Windows Talk

November 23 @ 2:00 pm 3:00 pm

An illuminating talk about the beautiful stained glass windows illustrating Irish saints and some additional modern windows.

The pelican window

St Columbanus Church, Ballyholme, is architecturally rich, being built from a unique stone taken from Roxborough Castle in Moy, Co Tyrone. There is a wonderful collection of stained glass windows representing Irish Saints: Columbanus, Columba, Finnian, Comgall, Gall, Patrick, Brigid and Brendan. As well as those featuring the Saints, there are several more modern windows to be enjoyed.  Learn about the history of the windows and what the images represent.
