Bourmont

The heart of the stained glass window of the Church of St. Mary depicts the Annunciation.

This semicircular-arched stained-glass window is in the 19th-century Neo-Gothic style. It features a rich ornamental frame and a central figurative scene set within an oval medallion. The centerpiece of the window depicts the Annunciation. On the left, the angel Gabriel, dressed in blue and red, appears on a cloud. He offers a fleur-de-lis to Mary. Thus, he designates Mary as "full of grace," meaning chosen to become the mother of Jesus. On the right, the Virgin Mary, kneeling with an open book in her hand, is dressed in a pink dress and a blue cloak. Her head is surrounded by a white halo. A red curtain in the background evokes a sacred space. Above, we can see the dove of the Holy Spirit. A signature names the stained-glass artist Toner Père et Fils of Nancy.
