NORTH and SOUTH CHOIR AISLES

 

At the east end of both north and south choir aisles, are two striking windows, having subjects based on "The Song of Songs, which is Solomon's," illustrating titles which Christian piety, as in the Litany of Loretto, has applied to the Mother of our Incarnate Lord. On the north side and at the top of this window there is a lovely figure of Our Lady and Child, with the words, "Pray for us, Elect as the Sun, Fair as the Moon, Gate of Heaven, as a Lily among Thorns, Tower of David with Bulwarks." On the south side there is the Crucifixion with the words "Tree of Life, Star of the Sea, Mirror without Spot, Well of Living Waters." These two windows, beautiful in design and colour, gleam through the shadowed pathways of the aisles with an effect which is not easily forgotten.

In the south choir aisle is a three-light window of the Resurrection, with St Mary Magdalene and St Peter.
