3-The stained-glass windows of the choir

Upon entering the church, our gaze is attracted by this red light behind

the high altar, but also a forest of pillars.

This new set of stained glass windows is by Pierre CHEVALLEY

in 1956/1957 (born March 6, 1926 in Yverdon-les-Bains and died May 8, 2006).

–

All these stained glass windows in the choir show themselves like a burning bush

(red color of fire), in their expression taken from the Old Testament.

The reading of the stained glass evokes justice.

That of god as That of men.
