Description: St Andrew and St Elisabeth Stained glass by F.C. Eden in Little St Mary's Church. "All kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall do Him service. In memory of Sarah and Sophia. With the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption." Andrew carries the X-shaped cross of his martyrdom and a scroll bearing Jesus' command to him and his brother Simon Peter: "Venite post me et vos fieri piscatores hominum" ("Follow me and I will make you fishers of men" - Mark 1.17). Elisabeth, Hungarian princess revered in Germany for her charitable works, carries a basket of bread rolls to feed the poor, miraculously converted into roses, and her scroll quotes from Psalm 45 (Vulgate 44) v.3: "Diffusa est gratia in labiis tuis" (Full of grace are thy lips").
