"Lazarus Come Forth"; Palm Sunday, by John Hardman & Co., with a closer view of the Palm Sunday scene on the right. These nave windows were installed in 1869-70 in Alexander Ross's Inverness Cathedral, dedicated to St Andrew, Inverness-shire, Scotland. Hardman's didactic scheme starts at the east end of the nave with the Annunciation, following Jesus's life through to the Crucifixion in the apse, the Ascension in the North Transept window and the Last Judgement in the West Window. In the second light here, towards the end of the scheme, we see the episode referred to in John 12, 13 — Jesus's entry into Jerusalem, when people welcomed him as a victor by making his way easier and strewing palm fronds on his route.
The "clearly drawn archaic designs in bright colours" that John Gifford mentions are still seen here (189). On the left, Jesus is robed in red as he calls forth the dead man, and, on the right, in red and white as he rides a white donkey.
