Colorful stained glass: Jesus walks on water. St Giles' Cathedral, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, Europe.

Magnificent stained glass north window in St Giles' Cathedral. Given by merchant navy Captain Charles Taylor of Stonehaven in 1922, this window portrays nautical themes using rich blues, greens and purples: Christ walking on the water (lower section) and Christ stilling the tempest (upper section). St Giles' Cathedral (High Kirk of Edinburgh) is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 1300s and was extensively restored in the 1800s. Some regard it as the "Mother Church of Presbyterianism." The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Giles, a very popular saint in the Middle Ages and the patron saint of Edinburgh (also of cripples and lepers). Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, in Lothian on the Firth of Forth's southern shore, Scotland, United Kingdom, Europe.
