This ornamental stained glass window features a central coat of arms combining military, royal and spiritual elements to likely pay homage to Joan of Arc. The sword, crown, lilies and motto "Vive labeur" recall her role as a warrior in the service of France and her attachment to popular values. This coat of arms, non-historical but highly symbolic, illustrates the image of Joan as a figure at the crossroads of the divine and the patriotic.
