This stained-glass window likely depicts Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, recognizable by his crozier, his miter, his blessing gesture, and especially by the presence of children. He stands firmly planted in the central section of a pointed-arch window. Wearing a halo, a white cope with a golden orphrey and a purple cloak, he looks down at the children. Behind him, a transparent diamond-shaped stained-glass background lets in light, while a section of deep blue glass decorated with plant motifs frames the top of the scene. This stained-glass window likely dates from the second half of the 19th century. The lower part of the window is hidden.This stained-glass window likely depicts Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, recognizable by his crozier, his miter, his blessing gesture, and especially by the presence of children.
