This stained glass window dedicated to the Virgin Mary represents the Annunciation and the Ascension.
This stained glass window is divided into two narrative registers. The upper register shows the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin, her hands crossed on her chest, rises to heaven, carried by angels. She is dressed in her blue dress and pink mantle, symbols of purity and love. The angels accompany her in an upward movement that reinforces the verticality of the scene. The lower register depicts the Annunciation. The archangel Gabriel appears to Mary in a posture of reverence. He holds a scepter, symbol of divine authority, while the dove of the Holy Spirit descends above the scene, indicating the mystery of the Incarnation. Mary, kneeling, receives the message with humility. Between the two scenes, a central medallion represents an angel in prayer, linking these two key moments in the life of the Virgin. The border of the stained glass window is richly decorated with floral and geometric motifs in vibrant tones of blue, red and gold.This stained glass window is divided into two narrative registers.
