Title
Stained Glass Window with Scenes from the Life of Saint Vincent
Description
English: This window, part of a pair devoted to Saint Vincent of Saragossa, was made for the Lady Chapel at the monastery of Saint-Germain-des-Prés (Paris) and funded by the local lay community and pilgrims. The scenes read from bottom to top: Vincent preaching; Vincent tortured by fire; a modern replacement; Vincent in prison; Vincent's soul ascending into heaven; Vincent's body protected from wolves by a raven; and Vincent's body being cast into the sea. The window commemorates St. Vincent's life and two of his relics-his tunic and his jawbone-given as royal gifts to the monastery.
