This stained glass window represents Saint Isidore and Saint Nicholas.
The stained glass window, of neo-Gothic style, is structured in two vertical lancets surmounted by a tympanum. The two saints represented are clearly identifiable thanks to their distinct iconographic attributes and their inscriptions at the bottom of the panels. On the left, it is a gift from Mathilde HUMBLOT: we see Saint Isidore, patron saint of farmers and laborers, he is represented dressed in traditional peasant work clothes. He carries a sheaf of wheat on his shoulder, symbolizing the fertility of the earth and the divine reward offered to labor. At his feet, agricultural tools. On the right, the gift from a parishioner is dated 1900 and represents Saint Nicholas, dressed in the liturgical vestments of a bishop. He holds a crozier in his left hand, while his right hand blesses three small children. This scene celebrates the miracle of the resurrection of the children killed by the butcher, an emblematic miracle of Saint Nicholas, protector of children.The stained glass window, of neo-Gothic style, is structured in two vertical lancets surmounted by a tympanum.
