This stained glass window depicts the resurrection of the widow of Nain's son (Luke 7:11-17). "Young man, I command you, arise." And those who carried him stood still.
This stained-glass window was a gift from the Adam family. It depicts a biblical episode from the Gospel according to Saint Luke: the resurrection of the widow of Nain's son (Luke 7:11-17). Created by the J. Benoît workshop in Nancy in 1891, it exhibits a neo-Gothic style. The upper section depicts stylized Gothic architecture, with finely crafted bows and arrows. The inscription "To our soldiers" is central. The main scene depicts the resurrection. Jesus, dressed in red and white, blesses the resurrected son, who, lying on a stretcher, begins to stand up, a sign of his return to life. The widow of Nain, dressed in purple, kneels. Witnesses, disciples, notables, and young girls carrying flowers and torches witness the scene. The stretcher bearer, on the right, stops walking. The predella bears the biblical inscription "Young man, I command you, arise!" And those who carried it stood still (Luke 7:14-15), providing a direct commentary on the image.This stained-glass window was a gift from the Adam family.
