This stained glass window represents the Holy Family in Joseph's workshop.
This stained glass window depicts the Holy Family in Joseph's workshop, highlighting an intimate moment in the daily life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Mary is seated on a wooden bench on the left of the scene, dressed in blue and white, symbolizing purity and divine motherhood. She holds a spindle in her hands, a typical element of textile work. Joseph, in the center right, is standing, dressed in a red tunic and a brown leather apron, typical of artisans. He holds a carpenter's axe, in action in his workshop. The Child Jesus is depicted standing, in the foreground. Dressed in a simple white tunic, he hands a wooden board to Joseph, emphasizing his apprenticeship and his closeness to his earthly father. The decor of the workshop, with beams and tools, is realistic and highlights the modest and hard-working daily life of the Holy Family. At the bottom of the stained glass window, an inscription reads: “Gift from the Arsène Rolin family”, marking the generosity of local donors in the decoration of the church.This stained glass window depicts the Holy Family in Joseph's workshop, highlighting an intimate moment in the daily life of Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
