Saint-Martin Church of Dommartin-sur-Vraine

In front of us, this stained-glass window represents the Annunciation, the moment when the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive Jesus.

This stained-glass window depicts the Annunciation, the moment when the angel Gabriel announces to the Virgin Mary that she will conceive and give birth to Jesus, the Son of God (cf. Luke 1:26-38). The stained-glass window is composed of two lancet windows topped with ornate openwork. The scene takes place within a stylized Gothic architectural space, with arches, small columns, and a flagstone floor. A blue sky in the background opens up the space. On the left, the angel Gabriel, recognizable by his colorful wings and halo, is dressed in a red robe, a pink tunic, and a golden sash. He holds a white fleur-de-lis. On the right, the haloed Virgin Mary faces him. She wears pink robes and a light green veil. Her arms crossed over her chest signal her inner assent: "Fiat" "Let it be done according to your word." Above the two lancets, a dove surrounded by rays symbolizes the Holy Spirit, descending towards Mary.
