Saint Èpvre Church in Barville

The part of this stained glass window represents Jesus as a good shepherd and perhaps Saint Ephrem.

Beneath a partially missing high stained-glass window, a fragment of stained-glass window survives. It is framed by beautiful neo-Gothic borders with interlacing foliage and colored beads. Two holy figures emerge from a lapis lazuli blue background. On the left, a young man with gentle eyes carries a lamb on his shoulders, his cruciform halo leaving little doubt as to his identity. This traditional presentation of Christ is inspired by the Gospel of Saint John (10:11). On the right, the bearded bishop in a red and white cope could be Saint Epvrus. He holds a crozier in one hand and blesses with the other. The rest of the stained-glass window has disappeared.
