Reflected in a showcase displaying old maps at the National Library of Israel is Mordechai Ardon's great work of stained glass.
It makes an entire wall at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Measuring 16 x 6 meters/yards, this creation is among the largest stained glass windows ever made.
The theme is the prophet Isaiah's vision (Isaiah 2:2-4) of eternal peace at the End of Days.

Wonderful choice for Theme Day, Dina!
ReplyDeletePretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful, Dina. We've always loved stained glass, hence the reason we named our daughter, Tiffany.
ReplyDeleteGosh, I missed that post last year. Thanks for providing the link and the explanation — it's a fascinating and beautiful piece of work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... if we are ever to be at peace, it will be God's doing, not man's...
