Four male heads in profile, perhaps the four evangelists, with two biblical texts and a central cross.


designer: Thomas Nicholson

Church of St Michael, Forden, Powys
east wall of the chancel


The two texts have a direct Eucharistic reference, bread and wine being the elements used in the celebration. Placed in this context they theologically indicate the Real Presence of Christ in the sacrament.
