Parvulus enim natus est nobis, et filius
datus est nobis
(For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given)
(Isaiah 9:6 ).
At the top of the window, Isaiah holds a scroll
foretelling the birth of Jesus, which is shown in the Nativity scene below.
Verbum caro factum est, et habitavit in nobis:
et vidimus gloriam ejus
(The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory)
(John 1:14 ).
Lower: The Annunciation to the shepherds.
Next to the angel is a scroll on which is written
Ecce evangelizo
(Behold, I bring you [good tidings of great joy])
(Luke 2:10 ).
