Dieses aus zwei Lanzetten bestehende Buntglasfenster stellt zwei Heilige dar, links eine Nonne und rechts die Heilige Anna.
This vertical stained-glass window is set in a pointed arch, typical of the Gothic style. The composition is punctuated by two twin lancets, topped by an openwork quatrefoil adorned with colorful floral motifs. In the upper and lower sections, abstract floral quatrefoils follow one another in a skillful interplay of deep blue, gold, bright red, and milky white. In the center, two saintly figures appear majestically beneath a stylized city, made of ramparts and multicolored domes. To the left, a holy nun dressed in a black and white habit, topped with a royal blue cloak, holds a phylactery in her left hand. Her halo indicates her identity, but it is difficult to read here. To the right, clearly identified by her halo, stands Saint Anne, book in hand. She is dressed in a cream-colored dress and a red cloak. Architecturally, this stained-glass window belongs to the neo-Gothic movement of the 19th century. In 1940, the damaged stained-glass windows were redone by Krieger, Janin's successor, Vitraux d'art de Lorraine in Nancy.This vertical stained-glass window is set in a pointed arch, typical of the Gothic style.
