  The Centre Light shows the Annunciation

The side panels, pictured below, represent the saints to whom our neighbouring parishes are dedicated.

St. Peter - holding the keys to Heaven.  Standing symbolically on a rock with the cock crowing to remind us of his denial of Christ.

St. Paul - an open book as a reference to his writings.  The sword in his hand is the emblem of martyrdom.  The ship represents his voyages.

St. John - holding the legendary poisoned chalice, symbolized by a dragon emerging from it.  In his other hand, he holds a scroll an quill pen to represent his writings.  The eagle is the symbol of St. John.

St. Luke - the staff and serpents (Aesculapuis) are a reference to the 'beloved physician'.
