The stain glass in located in the Church of the Holy Spirit Heidelberg, Germany. A beautiful place to visit at Christmas time.
It is known as the "Physics" window - Johannes Schreiter, the artist, added these 4 elements layered in red highlights:
1. The date the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima is inserted (August 6, 1945)
2. The equation developed by the German scientist (Alfred Einstein) that made the atom bomb possible.
And two scripture verses: 3. Peter 3:10 "the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up"
4. Isaiah 54:10 "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken"
The artist had been commissioned to replace all the windows that had been blown out by allied bombing, but the church leadership said it was too radical and re-competed the task.
Where to now?
