The first window of the Abraham triplet has a ram, an altar, firewood and a sword.  These symbols recall Abraham’s supreme act of faith, his willingness to even sacrifice his only son in obedience to God.  (Gen 22) This was the ultimate crisis or test of Abraham’s faith.  It took place on Mount Mariah, where 800 years later King Solomon would build the temple in Jerusalem.  This site is also the same mountain where Jesus, the only Son of God would be offered up on the cross.  It was during this event that Abraham said “God himself will provide the Lamb .”  And so God did by sending Jesus, the Lamb of God. (Jn 1:29)
