The lowest scene on the window depicts the marriage of Mary and Joseph and the one in the middle The flight into Egypt (as described in Matthew 2:13-23). I can't really make out the top one. 

In Notre Dame des Miracles (Our lady of the miracles) in Saint-Omer. This medieval church has its origins in a church that was built around the middle of the 11th century. But it was badly damaged by fire around 1200 and work began on this Gothic structure that is still there today. The work went on from the 13th to the 16th century. In 1561 the church was made into a cathedral for the newly created diocese of Saint-Omer and work continued on the church in the 17th and 18th century. In 1792, due to the French Revolution the church was closed and turned into a storage room - but in spite of this the cathedral suffered relatively little damage. After a few years it was once more a church, but the diocese was dissolved and the church was turned from a cathedral to parish church again.
