Cottier's

The window over the chancel is very large. It contains images of a number of the elders of the early church. Each of them is surrounded by text from the Beatitudes.



The North, Rose Window



The Central Light Containing the Star of David



The Jeremia Light



A Poorly Focused Detail of Jeremia



Blessed are the Peacemakers



Oded



Blessed are the Poor


Peter



Blessed are the Merciful


Abraham



Blessed are the Pure in Heart


Jonathean


Moses




For those who wish to know more about the architect, Cottier, and the context of the building there is a very good monograph on it.   It is Cottier's in Context: Daniel Cottier, William Leiper and Dowanhill Church, Glasgow.  Case Study 3. Historic Scotland, Edinburgh 2011.  ISBN 978 1 84917 052 9.
