This stained glass window represents Saint Nicholas, the emblematic patron saint of Lorraine, in an architectural and stylistic environment consistent with the other stained glass windows of the Saint-Rémy church in Rollainville. The stained glass window has a semicircular arch (or round arch), characteristic of the neo-Romanesque style, giving the whole an impression of stability and grandeur. Decorative borders, made up of floral and plant motifs and bright colors (blue, red, gold), organized symmetrically around the central character. The inscription "Saint Nicholas" at the bottom of the stained glass window, allowing the saint represented to be clearly identified. Each element contributes to celebrating Saint Nicholas, bishop and protector: The mitre: A characteristic headdress of bishops, it symbolizes his ecclesiastical authority. The crosier: The pastoral staff he holds in his left hand symbolizes his role as shepherd, guide of Christian souls. The gesture of blessing: His raised right hand recalls the saint's benevolence and his role as protector of the faithful. Red: Symbol of charity, zeal and love of Christ. Gold: Recalls holiness and divine glory. Green: Represents hope and spiritual regeneration.This stained glass window represents Saint Nicholas, the emblematic patron saint of Lorraine, in an architectural and stylistic environment consistent with the other stained glass windows of the Saint-Rémy church in Rollainville.
