Tour Scotland video of the Departure stained glass windows on visit to the Cathedral in Dunblane near Stirling. These windows contain in the left and right hand light, respectively, the  Passage of the Red Sea and the Chariot of Fire, which suggest departure. In the Passage of the Red Sea is introduced Michael the Archangel, Captain of the Hosts of Israel, in the Pillar of Fire, whilst the Starry Host is shown above the cloud. The two central lights of the window are called by the artist De Profundis, from the Depths, and Sursom Corda, Lift Up Your Hearts, respectively. Underneath both is represented a stormy sea, emblematical of life's chequered course.
