The fact that God has chosen Mary is indicated by artist in the way that he has the angel's wing touching Mary's shoulder. This window is dedicated to the Caillet family.
The next window depicts the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Note the shepherds who have come to adore the Christ Child. Already in the background we can see the bright red passion flower. The angels are singing "Glory to God in the highest." This window is dedicated to the Fahy family.
The next window depicts Mary and Joseph and Jesus in the carpenter's shop outside their home. Note the book of Scripture behind Jesus laying at the foot of Mary. The child is shaping a small cross, symbolizing the fact that even the Child Jesus
accepts his cross. The fleur-de-lis motif -reminding us of the Trinity -- appears in the halo around the head of Jesus. Also note the two turtle doves on the roof. These remind us of the day when Jesus was presented and dedicated in the temple. Two turtle doves were the gift of the poor. This window is dedicated to Anthony Battistella.
The final window on this side is one you really can't see from your place. It is in what used to be the Church's original baptistery. This is a more recent window, and it was not executed by Mayer and Company. If you study the window, you can easily see that it is done in a different style and does not equal the quality of the German artists. This window depicts the baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The Latin phrase "Ecce Agnus Dei" (behold the Lamb of God) appears once again. This window was dedicated to the Hale family
