This stained glass window illustrates one of the miracles of Saint Nicholas.
Within a neo-Renaissance architectural frame, richly adorned with pilasters, Corinthian capitals, vegetal scrolls, and trompe-l'oeil painted draperies, stands the silhouette of a central figure. Saint Nicholas is dressed in the liturgical vestments of a bishop, wearing a purple chasuble, golden stole, white miter, and crozier in hand. At his feet, three children are depicted standing in a wooden barrel: two boys and a girl, their hands clasped or turned toward the saint. Nicholas's gaze, calm and turned toward them, accompanies his gesture of blessing. "SAINT NICHOLAS" is clearly inscribed in a cartouche at the bottom of the stained-glass window, in white letters on a red background.Within a neo-Renaissance architectural frame, richly adorned with pilasters, Corinthian capitals, vegetal scrolls, and trompe-l'oeil painted draperies, stands the silhouette of a central figure.
