Christ hangs upon the crucifix, where he is to die that all mankind shall know salvation. 

John 19:18-19,26-30 They crucified him with two others, one on either side, Jesus being in the middle. Pilate wrote out a notice and had it fixed to the cross; it ran: 'Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews'. Seeing his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing near her, Jesus said to his mother, 'Woman, this is your son.' Then to the disciple he said, 'This is your mother.' And from that hour the disciple took her into his home. After this, Jesus knew that everything had now been completed and, so that the scripture should be completely fulfilled, he said: I am thirsty. A jar full of sour wine stood there; so, putting a sponge soaked in the wine on a hyssop stick, they held it up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the wine he said, 'It is fulfilled'; and bowing his head he gave up his spirit.

The Window

Jesus hangs from the cross, nails piercing the palms of his hands and his feet. On either side stand Mary, his mother, in her blue gown, and John, the beloved disciple, in green robes. The sky above the scene is a deep blue, filled with points of light - stars come out in the early darkness, perhaps, in a reminder of the starry night on which he was born.

The scroll in the bottom light reads Consummatum est (it is finished), the last words of Jesus on the cross.

The inscription at the foot of the window reads: In memoriam Gulielmi Plessington Sacerdotis pro fide catholica cruciati apud Cestriam 19 Juli 1679 posuerunt Maria G. Cardwell ejusque mater cognatae colleterales (In memory of William Plessington, Priest, tortured for the Catholic faith in Chester 19 July 1679; placed here by Maria G. Cardwell and her mother and fellow kinswomen). William Plessington is more usually known as Saint John Plessington, one of the forty martyrs of England and Wales.
