This stained glass window pays homage to Notre-Dame-de-Boulogne.
This semicircular stained-glass window is divided into a central scene and a geometric decoration, typical of 20th-century stained-glass windows. In the center, the crowned Virgin Mary sits enthroned, in a blue robe. She holds the crowned Infant Jesus on her arm and a scepter in the other hand. The Infant Jesus holds a globe surmounted by a cross (the globus cruciger). Both are in a stylized boat accompanied by two angels. One holds a book and the other a broken chain. The stained-glass window is framed in a geometric network of red, orange, and yellow tones, forming a kind of architectural mandala. At the top, a large white cross seems suspended in the light. At the bottom, the inscription "NOTRE-DAME DE BOULOGNE" clearly identifies the Virgin. The dedicatory insert is "In memory of André Claude and Marc Deprugney."This semicircular stained-glass window is divided into a central scene and a geometric decoration, typical of 20th-century stained-glass windows.
