Detail of the stained glass window by "Victor Thiébaut"
In the scene on the left, we see a character dressed in a short blue tunic, a red cloak, and wearing white sandals. He holds a purple standard decorated with a cross and a sword leaning against the ground. The presence of a palm tree in the background confirms that this is probably Saint Maurice, patron saint of Christian soldiers and warriors. This saint is often depicted with light armor or a sword, symbols of his military role and his martyrdom. Here, the purple standard with the cross refers to his sacrifice for the faith. In the one on the right, the figure depicted is that of a monk in a brown habit, recognizable as a Franciscan. He holds a book in his hands, a symbol of prayer, study, and meditation. The surrounding landscape, composed of rocks, a stream and trees, evokes the hermit life and solitude chosen by many saints, including Saint Francis of Assisi, founder of the Franciscan order. The cross in the background reinforces the idea of a spiritual path centered on passion and redemption.In the scene on the left, we see a character dressed in a short blue tunic, a red cloak, and wearing white sandals.
