This richly coloured two-light window shows Saint Marguerite-Marie Alacoque kneeling before the vision of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The composition belongs to the devotional revival of the later nineteenth century, when subjects drawn from recent French spirituality, especially the cult of the Sacred Heart, became central to parish decoration.
