This stained glass window depicts Saint Nicholas, one of the most venerated saints in the Christian tradition, particularly in Lorraine. The scene illustrates an emblematic episode of his legend: the resurrection of the three children. Saint Nicholas is depicted standing, dressed in his episcopal robes: a mitre, a crozier and a mantle decorated with crosses. His right hand is raised in blessing, and his dominant posture underlines his role as protector. Under his feet, three children, depicted partially naked and emerging from a tub, look at the saint with gratitude and wonder. The name “St Nicholas” inscribed at the bottom right clearly identifies the saint, reinforcing the didactic nature of the work.This stained glass window depicts Saint Nicholas, one of the most venerated saints in the Christian tradition, particularly in Lorraine.
