Stained glass window. St. Euchaire, St. Élophe, St. Libaire, St. Menne, St. Suzanne, pray for us.
This stained-glass window is a narrative composition with a unique structure, depicting several holy figures in a solemn and hieratic scene. It is signed by Benoit Nancy, a master glazier active in the region. The dedication at the bottom mentions Abbé Rollet, parish priest in 1927, and pays homage to the Tollot, Adam, and Bégin families, suggesting a private donation. The architecture of the window follows the Gothic style, with a top adorned with gilded pinnacles and a balanced composition. The lead and translucent glass grid highlights the central figures. Thanks to the inscriptions, we can confidently identify the figures depicted. Saint Eucharius and Saint Elophe stand, receiving palms from the hands of an angel. Slightly set back and kneeling in prayer, are the female figures of Saint Menne or Menehould, Saint Susanna, and Saint Libaire, forming a group of patron saints invoked for their intercession.This stained-glass window is a narrative composition with a unique structure, depicting several holy figures in a solemn and hieratic scene.
