This is the most recent stained window in the Cathedral and was placed here in 2001 to commemorate the millennium. It is by Ros Grimshaw and depicts the Creation and was made in 2000.
"In 1983, Ros Grimshaw, a distinguished designer, artist and creator of stained glass windows, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Refusing to allow her illness to prevent her from working, Ros became even more adept at her craft and in 2000 won the commission to design and make the 'Creation' stained glass window for Chester Cathedral - the finest and most inspired work of her whole career." From:- Six Days
There is a quotation from Genesis 1:13 along the bottom of the window: "and God saw / everything / that he had / made and / behold it was / very good"
A book, SIX DAYS by Painton Cowen, traces the evolution of the window from the first sketches to is final, glorious completion as a wonderful tribute to Life itself.
