This stained glass representation is of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a Christian martyr.
The stained-glass window adopts an ogival shape typical of the neo-Gothic style, popular in the 19th century. The composition is centered on a full-length saint, encased in a red mandorla, surrounded by a pearly oval and framed by stylized floral motifs. Saint Catherine of Alexandria is haloed, young, and wearing a crown. She holds the palm of martyrdom. We can see the broken wheel, the sword, and the axe. The inscription at the base specifies that this stained-glass window is a "Gift from the parishioners through the collections of the young ladies - 1882."The stained-glass window adopts an ogival shape typical of the neo-Gothic style, popular in the 19th century.
