Children and Jesus: 
The window above the altar shows Jesus in the center with a young boy and girl on either side of him. The girl is holding a flower and seems to be handing it to Jesus. Both children have their eyes fixed on Jesus and he is holding the chalice and bread of the Holy Eucharist. Click on the picture to make it larger and see if there are any other details that you would like to offer. Here is a passage from Mark that seems to be the inspiration for this window.
"People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them,but the disciples rebuked them.When Jesus saw this, he was indignant.He said to them,'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of Godbelongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them."
Mark 10:13-16
