Window life of Jesus in Iffendic

The Life of Jesus window in the Catholic parish church of St-Éloi in Iffendic , a French parish in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created in 1542. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1907 as Monument historique .

The four-part window in the center of the choir comes from an unknown workshop. It depicts the life of Jesus in different scenes: the wonderful catch of fish, Jesus and Peter (above the year 1542), Judas ' kiss, Jesus' last supper , crucifixion , burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the central motif.

The window was donated by the du Breil family.
