This stained-glass window honors Saint John, Saint Peter, and Saint Matthew.
This vertical stained-glass window with three lancets evokes the late 19th-century style. At the top, the openwork tympanum features a round medallion where an oil lamp burns. At the top, the dove of the Holy Spirit is surrounded by two angels. To the left, Saint John the Evangelist is depicted standing, holding a manuscript and a quill. The eagle, his traditional symbol, is at his feet. In the center, Saint Peter holds the keys to the Kingdom. He is dressed in a golden cloak. To the right, Saint Matthew is recognizable by the presence of an angel at his feet. He also holds a book and a quill. Below, eight figures are arranged beneath the three main lancets, each within a Gothic arcading. Saints in liturgical or civil vestments are named, but unfortunately their names are illegible in this shot.This vertical stained-glass window with three lancets evokes the late 19th-century style.
