MLKing Jr. Stained Glass Votive, Qassa

January 19th, 2009 by Admin

Amazing images found for this votive of Martin Luther King, Jr. alongside a beautiful green stained glass picture.

I am really excited to introduce this candle into my extensive line.

The stained glass shown depicts the words, “I have a dream” from Martin Luther King, Jr’s famous speech. Here’s a tiny excerpt from it:

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character….

I have a dream today! With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. From every mountainside, let freedom ring…

And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!” - MLK,Jr.
