This stained-glass window depicts the baptism of Jesus by Saint John the Baptist.
At the center of a Gothic pointed arch, framed by stylized foliage, opens the scene of the baptism of Jesus by Saint John the Baptist. On the left, a haloed Jesus clasps his hands. On the right, John the Baptist, dressed in his camel's hair cloak, pours water over Christ's head. The Jordan River stretches at their feet, and in the sky, at the top of the pointed arch, a radiant dove descends, surrounded by a golden halo. It is the image of the Holy Spirit, the living symbol of the Trinity. The scene, framed by stained glass windows with white acanthus leaf motifs on a gray background, stands out against a colorful border of red, blue, and gold.At the center of a Gothic pointed arch, framed by stylized foliage, opens the scene of the baptism of Jesus by Saint John the Baptist.
