Childhood of Jesus (Moncontour)
The Childhood of Jesus window in the Notre-Dame-St-Mathurin Catholic Church in Moncontour , a French commune in the Côtes-d'Armor department in the Brittany region , was created between 1520 and 1530. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1862 as Monument historique .
The central window in the choir was created by an unknown workshop. It shows various scenes from the childhood of Jesus .
In addition to the Childhood of Jesus window , five other windows from the Renaissance period have been preserved in the church (see navigation bar).
