A tiny censing 15thC angel at St Giles, Holme, Newark. Vigorously swinging it around without a care in the world!

A tiny jewel-like window caught in the sunshine at St Andrew's, Barnwell.
The colours and detail are absolutely lovely for such a small piece of glass, the light made the stars around the angels positively glow.

Today's #AdventAngels is swinging their thurible with a completely devil may care attitude at All Saints, Braunston in Rutland.
Probably once part of a reredos for a long lost altar, the oval above them contains the instruments of the passion.
