This stained glass window shows a scene linked to the Holy Family, an archangel addresses Joseph.
This stained glass window follows a tripartite composition. At the top, a celestial scene with two figures under an arch, one is haloed, the other is crowned. In the center, the main scene illustrates the Holy Family in the carpenter's workshop on the right and an archangel on the left. The Child Jesus is placed on the carpenter's table, held by Mary and Joseph, in an affectionate scene. The archangel addresses Joseph, probably to give him a divine directive, reinforcing his role as protector and educator of Christ. At the bottom, a medallion containing an inscription is surrounded by plant and Eucharistic elements. The style and richness of the details indicate a 19th century production within the framework of the neo-Gothic revival.This stained glass window follows a tripartite composition.
