This haloed figure, standing, is Saint Joseph. Gift of Joseph Mollot 1885.
This semicircular stained-glass window centers on the representation of a haloed figure, isolated in an oval medallion, surrounded by a sumptuous floral and geometric decoration typical of 19th-century religious art. This full-length haloed figure is Saint Joseph, a bearded man wearing a red tunic and a green cloak with wide, well-defined folds. In his left hand, he holds a staff adorned with white lilies. The ground beneath his feet and his carpenter's tools evoke earthly reality. The purple background of the central medallion is surrounded by golden scrollwork, leafy volutes, and stylized flowers. The outer edges of the window are punctuated by repetitive red and white quatrefoil motifs, intertwined with green, blue, and yellow leaves and palmettes. At the bottom of the window, "Gift of Joseph Mollot - 1885" indicates the date the window was made.This semicircular stained-glass window centers on the representation of a haloed figure, isolated in an oval medallion, surrounded by a sumptuous floral and geometric decoration typical of 19th-century religious art.
