Ceffonds, Haute-Marne, Grand Est, France: The Agony at Gethsemane (l) and the Betrayal of Christ (r) - two panels in a colourful Renaissance stained glass window telling the story of the Passion, created by the master glassmakers of Troyes, historic capital of the Champagne region. In the left panel, tired disciples fall asleep in the Garden of Gethsemane after the Last Supper, despite promising Jesus they would watch and pray, while Jesus, praying to God, endures the anguish of knowing he will be betrayed, arrested and crucified. Finding Peter, John and James sleeping, but with his will strengthened by an angel, he utters the immortal phrase: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak". Shortly afterwards, as shown in the right panel, Judas Iscariot approaches Jesus in the garden below the Mount of Olives to betray him, identifying him to watching soldiers by kissing him on the cheek. Jesus is arrested and endures torture, mockery and humiliation before he is crucified. In this portrayal of the Kiss of Judas, the betrayer wears a yellow gown and carries the red money bag containing his payment - 30 pieces of silver. The window, made in 1511, was one of several installed in the village church, the Église Saint-Rémi de Ceffonds, during its rebuilding from 1510 to 1524. Champenoise School stained glass made in the Champagne region - particularly in the workshops at Troyes - was renowned at that time for its intense blues, striking reds, vivid emerald greens and vibrant chrome yellows. Troyenne glass survives in many churches in the river valleys of the Aube, Marne, Upper Marne and Yonne. Apart from vivid colours, it can be identified by the inclusion of small narrative scenes and halos with beaded decoration. D1042.B2438
