Whatever techniques or materials it may employ, its own most unique and indispensable effects are always the product of colouring, refracting, obscuring, and fragmenting light.&#8217;<sup>2<\/sup><\/p><cite>Britannica<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The frequency of light changes with each colour and affects the body in different ways. For example, we reduce the blue light in our mobile phones at night to help us sleep.<sup>3<\/sup> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hence, the meaning of details in stained glass changes with the colours used. The meanings applied to colours in Open Arms correspond with their use in stained glass, most originating from their historic use by various religions.<sup>4 <\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Red indicates powerful emotions like love and hate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yellow indicates the divine power and glory as well as treachery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue indicates hope and sincerity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Orange, the combination or red and yellow, is a young colour that used to be on the red spectrum. It indicates creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Green, the combination of yellow and blue, indicates growth as life overcomes death in rebirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purple, the combination of red and blue, indicates the suffering and endurance in love and truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Open Arms, passing through the archway carries a risk. Will the new be hateful and treacherous? Will it be full of love and glorious? Will sincere hope be enough to make the change a better alternative? The promise of Open Arms is that with a creative attitude, the new will bring about positive change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-angel-s-robe\">The Angel&#8217;s Robe<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The original meaning of the word Angel is <em>messenger<\/em>.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pale silver colour of the robe, a combination of white and black, indicates the chaste innocence and purity of white united with the death of black that precedes rebirth.<sup>4<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Open Arms, the silver angel brings a message.
