This stained glass window represents the biblical episode in which Jesus entrusts the keys of the kingdom to Saint Peter.
The stained glass window depicts the biblical episode where Jesus entrusts the keys of the Kingdom to Saint Peter, a fundamental moment for the Catholic Church. It shows Jesus, dressed in red and blue, symbolizing his sacrifice and his divine nature respectively, handing keys to Saint Peter, kneeling before him. In the background, several apostles can be seen witnessing the scene. A building visible in the landscape, in the background, could symbolize Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome, reinforcing the allusion to Saint Peter's role as the first pope. At the bottom of the stained glass window, an inscription specifies that it is a "Gift from the Parish", and we can see the signature of the workshop "J. Janin, glass painter, Nancy", active at the end of the 19th century.The stained glass window depicts the biblical episode where Jesus entrusts the keys of the Kingdom to Saint Peter, a fundamental moment for the Catholic Church.
