This window depicting St Francis of Assisi shows him recieving the marks of stigmata, when Christ appeared to him as a Seraphim on Mount La Verna.

Other panels show him as an itinerant preacher, meeting with Bishop Guido of Assisi, getting permission to start a religious order from pope Innocent III, and Clare of Assisi becoming inspired to start the female Fransican order of Poor Clares.
