St Michael the Archangel / Artist: Unknown / Location: Cathedral of St Michael and St George, Aldershot / "At that time Michael, the great prince, the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish, such as has never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.” (Daniel 12:1)

St James Major, Apostle / Artist: Mayer of Munich / Location: St Mary Magdalene, Bexhill-on-Sea / "Going on a little further, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they too were in their boat, mending their nets. He called them at once and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the men he employed, they went after him.” (Mark 4:19-20)

The Baptism of Christ / Artist: Mayer of Munich / Location: Our Lady & St John, Chorlton-cum-Hardy / "Now when all the people had been baptised and while Jesus after his own baptism was at prayer, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily shape, like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on you.’” (Luke 3:21-22)

St John the Baptist speaks of Christ / Artist: Alfred Purdie / Location: English Martyrs, Streatham / St John said: “I myself am not the Christ; I am the one who has been sent in front of him. ‘The bride is only for the bridegroom; and yet the bridegroom’s friend, who stands there and listens, is glad when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. This same joy I feel, and now it is complete. He must grow greater, I must grow smaller.” (John 3:28-30)

Melchizedek offers Abraham bread and wine / Artist: Nathaniel Westlake / Location: Holy Ghost, Basingstoke / “This ‘King Melchizedek of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham as he was returning from defeating the kings and blessed him’; and to him Abraham apportioned ‘one-tenth of everything’. His name, in the first place, means ‘king of righteousness’; next he is also king of Salem, that is, ‘king of peace’. Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but resembling the Son of God, he remains a priest for ever.” (Hebrews 7:1-3)

The Hospitality of Abraham / Artist: Hardmans / Location: St James Spanish Place, London / "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:2)
