Two-light window with Christ breaking bread at Emmaus in the left-hand light, and Christ with the two disciples at Emmaus in the right-hand light. Angels at the head of both lights, one holding a chalice, the other a staff for travelling. A prophet in the trefoil at top of the window holds a text.


firm/studio: Lavers, Barraud & Westlake

Church of St John, Porthmadog, Gwynedd
south wall of the chancel (window number: sII)

Given in memory of a son of Edward and Margaret Breese, by his brothers and sisters.

The text held by the prophet at the top of the window reads 'O death I will be thy plagues' (Hosea 13:14).

Texts below the biblical scenes 'Their eyes were opened and they knew him' (Luke 24:31); 'Abide with us' (Luke 24:29).

The window is not visible from the main body of the church; photographs taken from above the roofed meeting room created in the original chancel.
