This stained-glass window, a gift from Mr. Jean-Nicolas Grégoire, features two figures of bishops. One of them is Saint Nicholas.
This stained-glass window is framed with geometric and floral motifs. Two full-length bishop figures each overlook a lancet, against a background of grisaille and celadon blue. On the left, Saint Nicholas is depicted as the benefactor of children. At his feet, in a wooden tub, three children are rising. This scene represents the miracle of the three resurrected children and made Nicholas the protector of children, schoolchildren, and orphans. The saint is dressed in rich gold and purple robes. On the right, the figure, also wearing a halo and bishop's robes, appears younger. He holds a bouquet of ears of wheat. His identity without additional clues is more difficult to determine.This stained-glass window is framed with geometric and floral motifs.
