This stained glass window honors Saint Peter and Saint Paul.
The stained-glass window consists of two vertical lancets topped by a tympanum decorated with geometric and stylized motifs. The whole adopts a modern figurative style. On the left, Saint Peter is dressed in a pale yellow tunic and a red cloak, classic colors used to designate him. In his left hand, he holds two keys, a reference to Matthew 16:19, "I will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven..." His right hand holds a closed book. On the right, Saint Paul is dressed in a pink tunic and a purple cloak. In his left hand, he holds a long, unrolled scroll, and in his right, a sword, his distinctive attribute, evoking both his death by beheading and the Word of God, a spiritual weapon. At the top of each lancet, we notice a cross surrounded by stylized winged angels.The stained-glass window consists of two vertical lancets topped by a tympanum decorated with geometric and stylized motifs.
