This biblical scene in stained-glass appears to be Jesus visiting and teaching at the home of Mary and Martha. Fascinating details........even a dog curled up on the floor.........very homelike. I love the color combination in Mary's clothing........green and violet. Busy Martha, in the background, is wearing less gaudy attire........well, some like to wear bright colors and some don't.

This very beautiful window is from St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Waverly, Iowa.

Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 (RSV): "Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

Assignment for today: Set aside your Martha-busy-ness; go to church-----sit still like Mary (wear bright colors if you wish); listen and learn of and from Him!

[A couple days after publishing this post, I found a German-English dictionary website. The words at the bottom of window mean, "Founded by the womens' association".]
