31. St. Peter and Paul Church, East Harling, East window, Pentecost, 1480. The Apostles remain positioned around the central figure of the Virgin in the scene depicting Pentecost.  Just as Jesus had ascended into heaven with a glow shared by his mother, the Dove descends from above in a similar fashion.  Like the Dove that came to Mary at the Annunciation and filled her with the Holy Spirit, one returns in the end with the same grace, bestowing it upon the Virgin and the Apostles.  Once again, the striking blue shade of the clouds is also found in the robe worn by the Blessed Virgin, vividly the center of the story.  The golden rays and the pure, white hue of the dove shine in harmony with the face of the mother below.
