Saint-Michel Church

This stained glass window represents Christ on the cross, surrounded by the Trinity and Eucharistic elements.

This stained glass window depicts a central scene of the Crucifixion of Christ, dominated by a symbolic Trinary composition. It is organized vertically in several registers. In the center, Christ on the cross, surrounded by stylized rays of light. His posture expresses both suffering and total self-giving. He is dressed in a simple perizonium (cloth tied around the waist). Just above, the dove of the Holy Spirit on a golden background radiates towards Christ. Even higher, a divine hand represents God the Father, thus forming a traditional representation of the Holy Trinity. To the left and right of Christ, two radiant monstrances, one bearing the monogram "IHS" (Christian acronym meaning "Jesus Savior of Men"), the other marked by a stylized host. In the upper part, heraldic elements. On the left, a coat of arms bearing a coat of arms and on the right, another escutcheon. At the bottom of the stained glass window, an inscription: "Come to me, all you who are in trouble, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
