Longchamp, church - stained glass
This stained glass window illustrates the scene of the Annunciation with the Virgin Mary and the archangel Gabriel.
This stained glass window depicts the scene of the Annunciation, a central biblical theme in Christian iconography. On the left, the archangel Gabriel, dressed in a green robe, kneels and extends his hand towards the Virgin Mary. The latter is depicted on the right, in a prayer position, her hands crossed on her chest. A white fleur-de-lis, a symbol of purity, is placed in front of her in a decorative vase. Above the scene hovers the dove, symbol of the Holy Spirit, emanating golden rays of light. The composition is framed by a neo-Gothic border composed of stylized geometric and plant motifs. An inscription, difficult to read, at the bottom indicates that this stained glass window was donated by two parishioners (Eugène and Rosalie).This stained glass window depicts the scene of the Annunciation, a central biblical theme in Christian iconography.
