This stained glass window represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Pope Pius IX.
This stained-glass window is a composition of two lancets, framed within a neo-Gothic architecture. At the top, in a heart-shaped medallion, a phrase in capital letters stands out against a red background: "This is the heart that so loved mankind"—a quote directly borrowed from the revelations of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, a 17th-century mystic credited with spreading the cult of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The left lancet is occupied by the figure of Christ in glory, standing with outstretched arms. He is depicted within a mandorla and wears a red tunic and a blue mantle. On his chest, the Sacred Heart is clearly visible, ablaze and surrounded by the crown of thorns. Beneath his feet, a verdant landscape unfolds, with mountains on the horizon. The scene on the right depicts a figure richly dressed in white and gold. This is probably Pope Pius IX (1792–1878), the pope of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception (1854) and the promoter of the cult of the Sacred Heart.This stained-glass window is a composition of two lancets, framed within a neo-Gothic architecture.
