Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan in answer to the question Who is my neighbour?

Shown is the largest of three windows which belonged to the old St Anne’s church and were given by his wife in memory of Sir William G Johnston, a mayor of Belfast, who died in 1886.

He was knighted by Queen Victoria when she visited Belfast (the only time) in 1849. This middle window was bowed to fit the curved chancel wall of the old church. It depicts two scenes: in the lower panel the Samaritan finds the victim of the attack (the broken sword suggests the fury of the resistance); in the upper panel the Samaritan delivers the victim to the innkeeper to be looked after. Scrolls carry quotations from the New Testament story (Luke 10).

The side panels show the priest and the levite who would not help the robbed and injured man.
