This stained glass window represents Saint Peter.
This stained glass window depicts Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and the first pope of the Catholic Church. In a central medallion, Saint Peter is depicted as a bust, with a white beard and features marked by age, a sign of his wisdom. He holds a golden key, symbolizing his spiritual authority. His blessing posture evokes his role as a guide. The ornamental frame shows a deep blue background with geometric patterns. The medallion is chiseled in gold with arabesques and volutes, creating a contrast between the simplicity of the saint and the richness of the decoration. The semicircular bay is typical of neo-Gothic religious architecture. Its white glass panels decorated with interlaced patterns allow it to filter the light, giving a spiritual and meditative dimension to the whole.This stained glass window depicts Saint Peter, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and the first pope of the Catholic Church.
