9 San Bernardo Church’s Stained Glass Window in Kralendijk, Bonaire

Typically when you see a gorgeous stained glass window like this over the altar of a Catholic church, it portrays the Virgin Mary holding Jesus. However, I suspect (but cannot confirm) that it may portray Saint Bernard, the church’s namesake. Born in 1090, Bernard of Clairaux entered the Cistercian order of monks at an early age. He went on to establish several monasteries and helped define the Knights Templar during the Crusades. He was canonized in 1174 and given the title “Doctor of the Church” in 1830.
