Hi, I found an inscription on a stainedglass window in a church with the name of a saint that I can't seem to locate. Maybe someone who speaks German has an idea which saint the glass window refers to?

St. James
hl. Jacobus (bitt für uns)
hl. = heilige(r)
Jacobus
It says “hl. Jakobus bitt für uns” which in modern German likely is meant to mean “Heiliger Jakobus, bete für uns”, so “Holy James, pray for us”. They likely mean *James the Great* who was one of Jesus’ 12 apostles.

Is this Deutsches Bernsteinmuseum near rostock?
Jacobus
