Close up of Apse of St. John

Abstract

On a field of blue, the Holy Spirit and angels surround the Christus Pantocrator. On the field of gold, a bejeweled cross with a medallion head of Christ stands on a hill from which flow streams of living water at which the deer of Psalm 42 refresh themselves. To the left of the cross, is the Virgin Mary with Nicholas IV and St. Peter and St. Paul. On the right of the cross are John the Baptist, John the evangelist, and Andrew with a diminutive St. Francis.
