2-The legend of Saint Nicholas

  • Stained glass window commonly known as “The legend of Saint-Nicolas”. Stained glass window by GRUBER 1928 (born February 25, 1870 in Sundhouse and died December 15, 1936 in Paris).

  • The bassin and the three very young children ensure the saint’s définitive identification, as they are so intégral to his legend.

  • The bridge is almost the center of the stained glass window with the Meurthe River, as in 1862 (19th-century depiction) which it spans. We are at the center of our action.

 

The angel, on the left, is supposed to protect Varangéville and a farm (the priory ?)

The angel on the right protects the Port, its basilica, its urban environment.t

  • The lower part, a triptych of life during the 1914-1918 war. A variation of the Angelus in its three AVE MARIA : Morning; Noon; Evening (youth, maturity, old age). This triptych functions as a three-part evocation of family life during the first world War.

  • In the scene on the right, the image of the soldier is imposed by his injuries displayed as by his blue uniform form 1914.
