El Greco View of Toledo

View of Toledo, by El Greco (1541–1614). The landscape depicts the priory in which John was held captive, just below the old alcázar (fort) and perched on the banks of the Tajo on high cliffs. From Wikipedia.

Judge eternal, throned in splendour, who didst give John of the  Cross strength of purpose and faith that sustained him even through the dark night of the soul: Shed thy light on all who love thee, in unity with Jesus Christ our Saviour; who with thee and the Holy Ghost liveth and reigneth, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
