Description
The north windows of the presbytery feature stained glass windows designed by Jozef Mehoffer (1891). They are shields of arms and figures of saints. In the window closest to the rainbow is the Annunciation, below it St Theodore and St Francis Xavier (whose founder was Teodor Zajdzikowski, at the same time the maker of all these stained glass windows). The adjacent window contained only one Tarnawa coat of arms, and Mehoffer inscribed Stryjeński's name on the banner. Like Wyspiański, on the other side of the chancel, Mehoffer also honoured the great renovator of this temple, and at the same time the founder of the stained glass window. The coat of arms of Ład in the next window was founded by Józef Grodzicki.
