This stunning stained glass window, located above the Mary Altar at Holy Trinity Church, is a vibrant celebration of the Virgin Mary and her role in salvation history. Its intricate design and bold colours evoke a sense of devotion, drawing worshippers closer to the maternal love and intercession of the Blessed Mother.

At the centre of the window is the Immaculate Heart of Mary, adorned with roses and crowned with flames, symbolising her pure and undying love for humanity. Surrounding the heart are rays of light, signifying the divine graces that flow through her intercession. The name “Maria” is prominently displayed, affirming Mary’s central role in the Church’s life and devotion.
