This stained glass window illustrates a key moment in the life of Joan of Arc: her divine vocation.
This stained glass window depicts a Christian scene associated with a celestial vision. A young woman, likely Joan of Arc, symbolized by her pastoral simplicity and the lamb at her side, kneels in the foreground, surrounded by angelic and female figures. The main angel, identifiable as the Archangel Michael, in armor, holds a sword toward her, while two crowned saints stand in the background. A peaceful lamb is depicted on the right, reinforcing the idea of a pastoral scene. In the lower part, we can see a frame decorated with neo-Gothic motifs with golden arabesques. The inscription at the bottom reads: Gift of Mr. Abbé H. Rolin, confirming the origin of this work as a pastoral gift.This stained glass window depicts a Christian scene associated with a celestial vision.
