This stained glass window in two lancets depicts an episode in the life of Joan of Arc, her mystical encounter with Saint Michael, accompanied here by Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret. On the left, Joan of Arc is kneeling, humbly dressed, in a posture of meditation. She is in the middle of nature, a rural environment reminiscent of Domrémy, her native village. At her side, a few sheep, evoke her role as a shepherdess. On the right, three celestial figures with halos appear in the air. Saint Michael, in armor with a red cape, is easily identifiable. Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret accompany him. The stained glass window distinguishes the earthly and the celestial, illustrating the boundary between the material world and the spiritual world. The angel, by giving the sword to Joan, points a direction symbolizing the mission she will have to accomplish.This stained glass window in two lancets depicts an episode in the life of Joan of Arc, her mystical encounter with Saint Michael, accompanied here by Saint Catherine and Saint Margaret.
