Shining above one of the confessionals of a 1920s Birmingham church is this glittering Byzantine Revival mosaic — part of a series of three, each picturing a gospel scene about reconciling with God.

This one tells the story of Christ the Good Shepherd, who knows each of his sheep by name, and would lay down his life for them.

The Ludwig Oppenheimer mosaics at Sacred Heart & St Margaret Mary in Aston date from 1922–1934, drawing inspiration from the ancient masterworks of Venice and Ravenna. They are a little piece of Byzantium in Birmingham.
