stained glass window in Canterbury Cathedral

This window is in Canterbury Cathedral. It is 800 years old - the oldest in Britain. It is a picture of Adam, the first man, after he had disobeyed God. He has an animal skin around his shoulders, and life has become hard for him.

  • How do you think Adam feels?
  • What does the artist want you to feel?
  • What do you think the artist's 'message' is?

You can read about Adam in The Bible, Genesis chapter 3.
