This stained glass window depicts Saint Peter, the first apostle and head of the Christian Church. Identifiable by the inscription "SANCTUS PETRUS" in his halo, he holds a golden key in his right hand, symbolizing his role as guardian of the gates of paradise. His slightly turned posture and his raised left hand gesture suggest both authority and teaching. The saint is dressed in a green tunic and a red cloak, colors symbolizing hope and sacrifice respectively. A decorative frieze surrounds the window, composed of repetitive geometric and floral motifs. At the top, a stylized architecture evokes the heavenly Jerusalem or the Temple of God, while at the bottom, an architectural arcade suggests the entrance into the earthly Church.This stained glass window depicts Saint Peter, the first apostle and head of the Christian Church.
