About this objectThis panel of stained glass in Trinity Chapel of Canterbury Cathedral is one of the so-called 'Miracle Windows', which depict the miracles of Thomas Becket (1118–1170). Recently dated to the 1180s, supported by the Latin inscriptin, PEREGRINI ST, “Pilgrims of the saint", it shows pilgrims en route to the saint's shrine at the cathedral. The group of male pilgrims are on both horseback and foot. The front rider is removing his ring to give as alms to the disabled man on crutches.
