Sister Wendy's Pains of Glass plays more like a spiritual retreat. Her blazingly profound insights not only make the viewer appreciate the exquisite artistry of the stained glass in the chapel of King's College but move them more deeply into the greatest mystery of Christianity--the passion of Jesus. A powerful video that is sure to stir the soul.

Sr. Wendy Beckett,is of course, the art nun of the BBc. Famous to children in England,she is a contemplative living in a trailor attached to a convent of carmelite nuns. She ventured out of her cloister after becoming an art expert,and has made a seies of videos. This one takes pace at Kings Chapel,cambridge,with REv. George Pattison as her guide,companion.The ancient stained glass tells the story of Christs Passion,with commentary from Rev Pattison and Sr. Wendy . This makes ideal lenten viewing.The sights and sounds are extremely moving,though it is the ancient windows that are the true stars of this passion piece.A moving,wonderful passion play done in stained glass.Magnificent!
