This stained glass window depicts a well-known scene from the Gospels: the appearance of the resurrected Jesus to Thomas, one of the apostles. The cartouche in the lower part transcribes an excerpt from the Gospel according to Saint John, chapter 20, verses 28-29: "Thomas said to Jesus: My Lord and my God. Jesus said to him: Because you have seen me, Thomas, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and have believed." Jesus stands, in white clothes, revealing a wound on his left side, recalling his crucifixion and resurrection. To his left, Thomas, in green and red clothes, hesitantly reaches out to Christ's wound, illustrating his doubt. His facial expression conveys both astonishment and reborn faith. A halo surrounds Jesus' head, emphasizing his divine nature. In the background, the scene is adorned with rays of light, evoking the glory of the resurrection. The stained glass window is framed with motifs of bunches of grapes and ears of wheat, Eucharistic symbols, anchoring the scene in the liturgical context. The name of Max Prudhomme and that of the city of Epinal are written at the bottom right.This stained glass window depicts a well-known scene from the Gospels: the appearance of the resurrected Jesus to Thomas, one of the apostles.
