Dorcas Window
The banner reads: The inscription at the bottom reads: Dorcas (the Greek version of the Aramaic name Tabitha) is a reference to a disciple who lived in Joppa, mentioned in the Acts 9:36–42. She is described as "always doing good and helping the poor"; the suggestion being that widows were the recipients of Dorcas' charity and that she may have been a widow herself. Dorcas was so prominent in the Joppa community that, when she became ill and died, Peter took the trouble to come to her from a neighbouring city and was used by God to raise her back to life.
