«Chapter 1»

They asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

After he said this, HE WAS TAKEN UP BEFORE THEIR VERY EYES, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? THIS SAME JESUS, who has been taken from you into heaven, WILL COME BACK IN THE SAME WAY you have seen him go into heaven.”

Feet, John.

[telescope115]

Good morning Dan!
#67 is my favorite, and the Tiffany windows are amazing!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Tiffany played an entirely different game than did the other fenstermachers.

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and a glad Wednesday to all.

So many wonders:
#64 Copping
#67 Hahlbohm
#68 Foret

And wonderful reliefs, and the fenster... a parade of exciting windows!

Thank You Dan!

[spankalib]

Got it! :)

[Hebrews 11:6]

a parade of exciting windows!

And now--thanks to you, Leon--I am imagining a line of colorful windows dance-marching past me in formation, cartoon-style. The Merry Window Parade!

[InkStone]

Yes Dan; old ‘40s and 50s’ cartoon style marching indeed! Plenty of those on YouTube; some quite funnie.

[AnAmericanMother]

Just can't help smiling at all the German and Flemish painters adopting the convention of just showing Christ's feet vanishing upwards.

Surprised at Constable - primarily a landscape painter.

But some beautiful work here!

[Hebrews 11:6]

All the artists, regardless of nationality, seem to have adopted the convention that Jesus entered heaven barefoot.

Which means, of course, that we cannot now speak metaphorically of "walking in Jesus' shoes"--not, I hasten to add, that anyone could ever actually fill Jesus' shoes.

[AnAmericanMother]

We are not worthy to unloose the latchet of his shoes.

All the stained glass windows, especially Burne-Jones at #96.
Thank you, Dan!

[Exit148]

In the pictures, they all are barefoot.

[Hebrews 11:6]

You are more than welcome, Alba!

[Hebrews 11:6]

Yes, that’s what I said.

[Ezekiel]

Wow, these are great.

I was immediately attracted to the simplicity and serenity of #67, which depicts the Spirit (dove: "Jonah", "Columbia"), but then when I rolled along to #99.

It was like a blast of 1969 in loud, living color. I'd never scene a robe like that for Christ. Lorenzo was 500+ years ahead of his time! It's too much.

That's one small step for man,

one giant leap for mankind.

The Tiffany glass is amazing.

Like 71 the Dali just because of his different way of “seeing” things.
