Description
Light from several large windows pours into the upper level, and colourful wall mosaics depict events from Christian and Benedictine history.
High above the main altar is a mosaic of Mary and the infant Jesus. The Latin inscription below it is from Isaiah 7:14: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Meaning God with us.
Jesus holds an open book with the inscription from John 8, 12 ("I am the light of the world"), words that Jesus said when he visited Mount of Olives. Underneath are pictures of eight Prophets, and a Latin verse from Isaiah 7, 14 with the prophecy of the coming of the Messiah: "...Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel". The Greek initials on both sides of Mary and Jesus mean "Mary, mother of God".
