He was one of the two chief designers, along with Carl Almquist, for the Lancaster, Lancashire, Lancaster firm of Shrigley and Hunt, producers of stained glass windows and church-fittings. In recent years his work has begun to be studied and admired, though claims that he was a genius have not gone uncontested. Edward Holmes Jewitt, Jewitt designed many windows for locations in the Home counties, Home Counties, Yorkshire, and above all the North West England, north-west of England, and there are scattered examples elsewhere. Works Because of the destruction by fire of most of the company's records in 1973 many Shrigley and Hunt windows can be attributed to individual designers only on stylistic grounds, if at all. Any list of Edward Holmes Jewitt, E. H. Jewitt's works is therefore necessarily incomplete. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Te Deum
The ( or , ; from its incipit, ) is a Latin Christian hymn traditionally ascribed to a date before AD 500, but perhaps with antecedents that place it much earlier. It is central to the Ambrosian hymnal, which spread throughout the Latin Church with other parts of the Ambrosian Rite of Milan in the 6th to 8th centuries. It is sometimes known as the Ambrosian Hymn, although authorship by Saint Ambrose is unlikely. The term can also refer to a short religious service (of blessing or thanks) that is based upon the hymn. It continues in use in many contexts by several denominations. In particular it is the core of a short church service of thanksgiving held, often at short notice, to celebrate good news such as a military victory, the signing of a peace treaty, or the birth of a royal child. History Authorship of the hymn is traditionally ascribed to Saint Ambrose (died 397) or Saint Augustine (died 430). In 19th-century scholarship, Saint Hilary of Poitiers (died 367) ...
