Notre-Dame Church

This stained glass window represents two holy female figures, one in prayer and the other proclaiming the divine word.

The stained glass window consists of two vertical lancets topped with an ornamental quatrefoil. The latter displays a stylized central floral motif. The two lancets frame two holy female figures, each placed under an ornate arch. The whole presents a refined Gothic architecture with a predominance of blue, red and green glass, harmoniously distributed. The two female figures, given their posture, clothing and attributes, appear to be saints. The figure on the left, dressed in a green cloak with richly decorated edges over a red dress, adopts a prayerful posture. Her joined hands symbolize piety and intercession, characteristic of medieval holy figures. The figure on the right holds an unrolled scroll, symbolizing the Scriptures or the Word of God. Her purple dress and red cloak traditionally evoke saints associated with wisdom and preaching, such as Saint Catherine of Alexandria or Saint Lucy. Precise identification would require further examination of possible inscriptions or local devotion specific to the Notre-Dame church.
