I was honoured to be approached by our local mayor to create a custom stained glass piece in recognition of the pilgrims who pass through Saint-Lézer on their journey to Santiago de Compostela.
This design is built around three symbolic elements:
The French flag forms the backdrop with its striking blue, white, and red—signifying national pride and the warm hospitality extended to all who pass through.
The scallop shell, universally recognised as the emblem of the Camino de Santiago, signposts the sacred path travelled by countless pilgrims over the centuries.
The coat of arms of Saint-Lézer sits at the heart of the design, rooting the work firmly in local heritage and community spirit.
This creation is deeply personal to me. My wife and I cycled 1,200 kilometres of the Camino de Santiago in just 13 days—an experience that was spiritually profound, mentally demanding, and personally transformative. That journey became the inspiration behind this piece, which I hope captures the spirit of pilgrimage, resilience, and welcome that defines the Camino.
