Windows - Norbert and Bernard

Norbert and Bernard

This window points out the close unity between Norbert of Xanten and Bernard of Clairvaux, whose lives and aims bore a distinct similarity.  One of Norbert’s interests was the reform of the clergy; Bernard’s the reform of monastic life.  A series of flames surmounts the figures of the two saints to indicate their love for one another and their zeal for their common efforts.
