Norroy, church - stained glass
This stained glass window illustrates a passage from the Gospel according to Matthew (6:24-33), which invites us to a deep reflection on our spiritual and material priorities.
This stained glass window presents an evangelical scene inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, which highlights Jesus' teachings on detachment from material goods and trust in divine providence. At the center of the work, Jesus is depicted teaching a young disciple and adult figures, echoing the biblical words inscribed in the lower cartouche: "You cannot serve God and riches. [...] Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all the rest will be given to you as well." These words are taken from the Gospel according to Matthew (chapter 6, verses 24-33). The stained glass window is divided into three main sections: The upper part: a central medallion with the main scene, surrounded by doves, symbols of peace and the Holy Spirit. The borders: golden geometric and floral motifs, evoking the richness of creation. The lower part: a cartouche containing the evangelical text, anchored in spiritual teaching. This stained glass window illustrates one of Jesus’ most profound teachings: the need to place faith and divine justice at the center of one’s life. Through its composition, vibrant colors, and symbolism, it invites reflection on material attachment and faith. Integrated into the architecture of the church, it literally and spiritually enlightens the faithful who gather there.This stained glass window presents an evangelical scene inspired by the Sermon on the Mount, which highlights Jesus' teachings on detachment from material goods and trust in divine providence.
