This stained glass window represents an apparition of Christ to the Sacred Heart, most likely at Sainte-Marguerite-Marie-Alacoque.
This stained glass window depicts a mystical vision scene, where a praying nun receives an apparition of Christ at the Sacred Heart. It bears the inscription of a gift offered by Mr. and Mrs. Chapier and the parish. Christ is standing, dressed in a red cloak and a white tunic, with a cruciform halo around his head. His heart, visible on his chest, is surrounded by a crown of thorns and radiates light, an iconography specific to the Sacred Heart. Facing him, a nun, Sainte-Marguerite-Marie-Alacoque in monastic habit, is kneeling, her hands joined in prayer. Her gaze is turned towards Christ in an attitude of adoration. Her rosary hangs from her belt. The background presents an idealized landscape with a convent on the hillside, suggesting a monastic setting. The floral decoration, notably the purple irises and the pink flowering tree, reinforces the mystical character of the scene.This stained glass window depicts a mystical vision scene, where a praying nun receives an apparition of Christ at the Sacred Heart.
