Pentecost window in Champeaux

The Pentecost window in the former Ste-Marie-Madeleine collegiate church in Champeaux , a French commune in the Ille-et-Vilaine department in the Brittany region , was created in the first half of the 16th century. The leaded glass window was added to the list of architectural monuments in France in 1907 as Monument historique .

The window in the Saint-Jacques chapel comes from an unknown workshop. It was donated by Canon Jean Masure. The donor is shown kneeling in front of the Mother of God seated on a throne at the bottom right . To the left of Mary the apostle Peter kneels with the "key to the kingdom of heaven". In the upper part of the window God the Father and Jesus Christ can be seen, below the Holy Spirit is depicted as a dove.

In the middle of the window the feast of Pentecost is shown with the sending of the Holy Spirit .
