Subjects such as the Seven Sacraments and the Seven Corporal Works of Mercy are ... found in fifteenth-century glass (Marks (1993), 79-80).

The Seven Deadly Sins are: Anger, avarice (greed), envy, gluttony, lust, pride, and sloth. Pride is regarded as the sin that most surely separates a sinner from the grace of God. Deliverance is possible only through Jesus Christ, whose sacrificial death redeems the repentant sinner from the penalty and power of sin.

The earliest surviving British wall paintings of the Seven Deadly Sins date from the first half of the fourteenth century. For example, the paintings at Cranborne in Dorset and Wotton Wawen in Warwickshire appear to date from the 1340s (Tristram (1955), 160, 268). However, the thirteenth-century writer, Durandus of Mende (d.1296), commended the practice of painting the Tree of Vice on the walls of a church, suggesting it was already familiar in some parts of Europe (Rationale Divinorum Officiorum (1859), 27). The Seven Deadly Sins are included in a sculptural programme of the battle of the Vices and Virtues on the chapter house portal at Salisbury Cathedral (c1260-70) (Green (1968), 153–4).

Before even beginning a discussion of these Seven Deadly Sins... known as "capital sins," it may be useful to discuss a few differences among Christians on this subject. Some people feel it is better to take a more positive approach to faith and not dwell on sin. Others believe all sin is equally repugnant to God, and so any classification of sins is wrong. Still others just want to forget the whole thing since they are saved and God loves them and really doesn't care about all this "stuff."
