Sir Gawain & the Green Knight

(A Prayer for Christmas Eve, C.nick Arach, 2010)


Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is a fourteenth century alliterative poem and this scene depicts Gawain finding a castle in the distance on Christmas eve, after he has prayed for a place for mass . The castle and the armour is fourteenth century same as the poem.

"Thus in peril and pain and plights hard through the
country wanders this knight all alone til Christmas eve. At that tide to
Mary he made moan that she might direct his riding and lead him to
some dwelling."
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, translated by W.A. Neilson
