Taken this day, 2023, heavenly light https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/53069304483/

Summer light through the stained glass commemorating Chariots of Fire Olympian Eric Liddell, refracted onto the back wall of Morningside United Church.

A few moments earlier, or later, and I'd have missed this ephemeral, little moment of silent magic in an almost empty church...

Eric Liddell centenary celebration window, looking out onto a scene he would have known well, Holy Corner. Appropriately from the community hub that is named after him in #Bruntsfield , commemorating a century since his famous "Chariots of Fire" moment at the 1924 Paris Olympics.

I love the Scottish Saltires & French tricolors. Vive the Auld Alliance!

Since it's both the opening weekend of the #ParisOlympics , & a century since his famous run, celebrated in Chariots of Fire, here's the stained glass window commemorating Eric Liddell, in Morningside United Church, where he worshipped.
