Summary
edit
| Description |
English: The origin of the trendle is lost in antiquity, though the word appears in Old English manuscripts as early as AD. 806. A trendle is a ring of metal or wood on which tapers are fixed, forming a chandelier. It was a custom in pre-Reformation days in England to hang a trendle in the chancel at Christmastime, to represent the Star that guided the shepherds and Wise Men to the Christ Child.
The trendle was designed by Gyorgy Doczi, made at the studio of Samuel Yellin, noted for his work in wrought iron, and dedicated in December 1952. The pierced inscription on the ring is the song of the Christmas angels: “Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth, Peace, Good Will to men.” |
