This stained glass window depicts a biblical scene inspired by the Gospel according to Saint Matthew (19, 13-15), where Jesus welcomes and blesses the children. The central scene is framed in a golden cartouche decorated with floral and architectural motifs. The background and details provide depth and narrative context. In the center, Jesus, dressed in red and purple, seated on a rock, is surrounded by women and children. He places a hand on a blond child, on the left, a kneeling woman holds her child. On the right, a woman in purple clothing presents children to Jesus. Behind them, we see stone buildings and an arch, evoking a city in Judea, as well as characters observing the scene. The exterior decoration of the stained glass window is in a neo-Gothic style with arabesques, vine leaves and flowers. As indicated by the lower band, this stained glass window was a gift from Madame Hippolyte Chevalier, a local benefactress.This stained glass window depicts a biblical scene inspired by the Gospel according to Saint Matthew (19, 13-15), where Jesus welcomes and blesses the children.
