Five-light window. The scenes (left to right) are: shepherds adoring the new-born Christ with Mary and Joseph, who holds a lantern; Simeon holding the infant Christ presented by Mary and Joseph, with Anna behind; Christ ascending with six of the disciples below; Christ raising Jairus' daughter with Jairus, her mother and Peter and John; Christ holding a child and blessing a kneeling girl below, with a mother and child and two disciples. The Agnus Dei is depicted in a roundel above, flanked by angels and with the IHS and alpha and omega monograms below, these being flanked by the symbols of the evangelists.
