St Cuthbert

A stained glass window in St Cuthbert's church in central Edinburgh. It shows the shepherd boy Cuthbert receiving the vision of Aidan being taken up into heaven, after which Cuthbert went to become a monk in Melrose, eventually following Aidan as bishop of Lindisfarne.

St Cuthbert's church is believed to have been founded by Cuthbert after he took "a longer walk than usual" from Melrose. I attended worship there at lunchtime, always an inspiring experience. I hadn't noticed this window before today though.
