Much of the #Superman movie #ManOfSteel was filmed near me, when the small town of #Plano #Illinois was remade to become #Smallville . This window at the Plano Methodist Church was used in the scene where #ClarkKent ( #HenryCavill ) is talking to a preacher about sacrificing himself in order to save the world from Zod.

This #StainedGlass #window was used as background symbolism in that scene, because it depicts Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, before sacrificing himself on the cross for all mankind (Matthew 26:36-46).

Every year, the town of Plano hosts a Superman Celebration, and visitors can see some of the places where scenes were filmed. I was also fortunate enough to visit when the set was days away from production, and see everything that had been done to the town in preparation. (I will post those images sometime later.)

A close-up view of the stained glass window. The window depicts Jesus, clad in white with a red robe, kneeling down and praying by a large rock, and looking heavenward. In the foreground, a corner of the window is obscured by the shadow of a man walking past, and a box fan is sitting in the windowsill by the other corner.
A full view of the stained glass window at the United Methodist Church in Plano, Illinois. The upper section of the window is a slightly pointed arch shape with a flowery design in the middle. The petals of the flower contain identical jewel images. A small circle is on each side of the flower, but unfortunately, the photo is not high-quality enough to determine what the circles are supposed to be. The main section of the window depicts Jesus, clad in white with a red robe, kneeling down and praying by a large rock, and looking heavenward. On each side of the main panel is a tall rectangular side panel with identical blue-themed sky scenes. The bottom of each panel is opened a bit inwards for fresh air. In the foreground, a corner of the main panel is obscured by the shadow of a man walking past, and a box fan is sitting in the windowsill by the other corner.
A scene from the movie "Man of Steel" with star Henry Cavill speaking while standing in front of the same stained glass window. He is just to the right of the image of the kneeling Jesus.
