This large glasswork presents from left to right: Saint Mary, Saint Joseph, the resurrected Jesus, Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
Here, three round-arched stained glass windows rise side by side in beautiful symmetry. At the center stands the Risen Christ. Standing tall, clothed in a vivid red mantle, He holds in His hand a long staff topped with a cross and a banner (a white cross on a green background). This banner is the labarum, the emblem of Christ victorious over death. At His side, an angel is shown kneeling. The lower part of the window is hidden by the altar. On the left panel, to the far left, the Virgin Mary is depicted standing, dressed in a green robe and white veil. She is shown standing on a crescent moon and crushing the serpent’s head beneath her foot. She is haloed and crosses her hands over her heart. At her side stands Saint Joseph, dressed in violet and brown, holding a flowering lily staff. The right panel honors the two patron saints of the church. On the left, Saint Peter holds the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. He wears a mauve tunic and a golden mantle. On the right, Saint Paul is depicted with a sword and a book. He is dressed in a reddish tunic and a green mantle embroidered with gold. The whole ensemble is framed by a Neo-Gothic decorative setting, adorned with acanthus leaves, urns, and stylized foliage, bursting with vibrant colors : red, blue, green, and gold.Here, three round-arched stained glass windows rise side by side in beautiful symmetry.
