This stained glass window depicts St. Louis rescuing the unfortunate. In memory of Louis Bourguignon.
The stained-glass window consists of two tall lancets topped with trefoiled openwork motifs bearing a fleur-de-lis coat of arms. Saint Louis, recognizable by his royal crown and blue cloak strewn with golden fleurs-de-lis, extends his hand toward a kneeling old man who implores him. Two monks accompany the king. Other figures are in distress, such as an old man leaning on a staff, a woman, and several destitute men. In the background, buildings represent a stylized medieval town. The lower panels bear two inscriptions: "St. Louis rescuing the unfortunate" and "In memory of Louis Bourguignon, who died in March 1944, deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp."The stained-glass window consists of two tall lancets topped with trefoiled openwork motifs bearing a fleur-de-lis coat of arms.
