This stained glass window, a gift from Mr. Jean-Nicolas Grégoire, pays homage to Saint Peter and Saint Paul, patrons of this church.
This two-lancet stained-glass window, donated by Mr. Jean-Nicolas Grégoire, pays homage to Saints Peter and Paul and patron saints of this church. Each lancet frames an apostle, standing hieratically, bathed in light. On the left, Saint Peter holds the keys and a book. On the right, Saint Paul holds a sword, a reminder of his martyrdom. The turquoise damask backgrounds highlight the silhouettes of the apostles, while the geometric frames with neo-Gothic motifs enhance the verticality and impart a solemnity worthy of the 19th century, a time of religious and artistic revival.This two-lancet stained-glass window, donated by Mr. Jean-Nicolas Grégoire, pays homage to Saints Peter and Paul and patron saints of this church.
