Four of Swords

An armored knight kneels in a chapel, placing his sword before him. He appears to be resting, meditating. Our focus is on the stained glass pattern featuring three swords behind him, symbolizing spirituality, while the held sword - representing action - rests. The light filtering through the church windows suggests spiritual renewal and the quest for inner peace. The Four of Swords is a card of rest after struggle, meditation, and healing.
