Ordinary old household windows are being used to tell the Resurrection story
“The Windows on the Resurrection” display casting new light on the Resurrection proved popular earlier this month. 250 people came on the first day to St Cuthbert’s Church of Scotland to see the unusual display.
The work was a combined effort of multiple artists and volunteers and was created by Sanctuary First (the worshipping community of the Church of Scotland) in partnership with ‘Stirling 4 Community’.
The artwork speaks to the environment of the spiritual, the sacred space, a place where people feel close to God, a place in society that is increasingly becoming more and more remote as people move away from faith.

The display asks questions like: What is a sacred space? Does it need to be a church building? Or can it transcend that into something that spills into our everyday lives? The artwork is formed of regular house windows that have been ripped out and 'up-cycled'. Windows that spent years being looked through are now filled with light and colour.
Twelve images, twelve volunteers and artists, twelve regular house windows, each one painted with vibrant colours depicting an image of the resurrection of Christ. For more on Sanctuary First, go to www.sanctuaryfirst.org.uk.
