This stained glass window "Ite Ad Joseph" shows Saint Joseph on the left and facing him, probably Pope Pius IX.
The stained-glass window consists of two main lancets, richly framed by neo-Gothic decorative elements: trefoils, pinnacles, stylized foliage, and celestial scenes at the top. The colors are vibrant and balanced, characteristic of late 19th-century religious glasswork. To the left, a white-bearded man, seated on a cloud, holds a staff of lilies. This celestial figure is Saint Joseph. Below him rises St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. To the right, a pope, richly attired in his liturgical vestments—golden cope, stole, miter, and pallium—raises his right hand in a gesture of prayer. He extends his other hand toward the celestial figure, while displaying an unfurled phylactery: "ITE AD JOSEPH."The stained-glass window consists of two main lancets, richly framed by neo-Gothic decorative elements: trefoils, pinnacles, stylized foliage, and celestial scenes at the top.
