This stained glass window shows Christ carrying the cross and addressing a crowd of praying faithful. The window is structured in two vertical lancets surmounted by a stained glass window representing God the Father, with the dove of the Holy Spirit below, thus forming a representation of the Trinity. The scene is composed of three planes. At the top, God the Father with open arms, and the dove of the Holy Spirit, on the right, Christ carrying the cross, dressed in red and white, casting a benevolent gaze on the faithful and on the left, a group of figures in prayer, including a woman and a child, men in tunics, and a tonsured monk, representing different types of believers. The landscape background, with mountains and lush vegetation, evokes a biblical natural setting, probably in reference to holy places such as Golgotha or the Holy Land.This stained glass window shows Christ carrying the cross and addressing a crowd of praying faithful.
