This stained glass window, dated 1902 and donated by a parishioner, Marthe Fouillouse, illustrates the Holy Family in a scene from daily life.
The stained glass window depicts a religious scene set in an elaborate frame with floral and geometric motifs, framed by arches and borders in bright colors, including red, blue, and green. In the center, three figures are arranged in a triangular composition, symbolic of the Holy Family. A woman in a purple dress and halo, probably the Virgin Mary, bows her head in a meditative or prayerful attitude. A seated man dressed in blue (traditionally the Marian or purity color in Christian art), identified as Saint Joseph, holds what appears to be a saw. A child in red, kneeling, in the center of the composition, symbolizes the Child Jesus in an attitude of learning. The exterior borders of the stained glass window, decorated with floral motifs and religious symbols, frame the scene with neo-Gothic style elements.
