This stained glass window highlights the Virgin Mary in her role as intercessor and refuge for sinners.
This stained glass window depicts the Virgin Mary standing on a cloud and a crescent moon, her hands lowered and golden bundles extending from each hand. She is dressed in a white dress, symbolizing purity, and a blue mantle, a color associated with her heavenly royalty and holiness. Mary is crowned by two angels who, on either side of her head, hold a phylactery bearing the inscription: "O Mary, Refuge of the sinner, pray for us." The surrounding decoration is rich in floral and plant motifs, particularly ears of wheat and vines, reinforcing the symbolic importance of spiritual fertility and the Eucharist. The style of the stained glass window is neo-Gothic, characteristic of the end of the 19th century. The bright colors, dominated by blue, red and gold, reinforce the solemnity and sacred aspect of the scene. The borders are decorated with plant motifs, including bunches of grapes and vine leaves, which symbolize the life and sacrifice of Christ in the Eucharist. The arrangement of the figures highlights the centrality of Mary, who is both the refuge of sinners and the intercessor for the salvation of souls. The two angels, represented in a graceful posture, provide a verticality that guides the eye toward the prayer inscribed on the phylactery.This stained glass window depicts the Virgin Mary standing on a cloud and a crescent moon, her hands lowered and golden bundles extending from each hand.
