This stained glass window represents Saint Paul.
This stained glass window represents Saint Paul, one of the apostles of Christianity and author of many epistles of the New Testament. In a central medallion, Saint Paul is depicted as a bust, with a long beard. He holds a sword, in reference to his martyrdom and carries a book. For the ornamental frame, the glassmakers used a deep blue background with grid patterns, a rich golden border decorated with floral motifs and arabesques, giving the stained glass window a majestic dimension. In the semicircular bay, classic of the neo-Gothic style, a decorated white glass frame allows natural light to sublimate the scene while maintaining perfect readability of the saint represented.This stained glass window represents Saint Paul, one of the apostles of Christianity and author of many epistles of the New Testament.
