This is one of many wonderful stained glass windows in Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal, Quebec. I chose it, because I got the best photo shot of it from inside the basilica. Once you enter the basilica through the main entrance, you'll find this window to your left hand side. It is the first window of the north side of the basilica. The window shows the construction of the basilica which started in 1824 and was finished in 1829.
From the Notre-Dame Basilica of Montréal website:
To mark Notre-Dame’s centenary celebrations in 1929, Curé Olivier Maurault ordered the creation of new stained glass windows for the church. Besides raising the necessary funds for the project, he himself decided on the themes of the ground-floor windows, which recall the religious and social life of the early Ville-Marie settlement. The Quebec artist Jean-Baptiste Lagacé designed the images, and the windows were executed at the workshops of Francis Chigot at Limoges, France.
