With great craftmanship the many coloured pieces of glass have been joined together with mostly thin lead strips joining them. The larger pieces of coloured glass are painted in a way to make the scene look life-like. The central, Gothic-arched panel is the tallest, depicting Jesus Christ suspended on the Cross at His crucifixion. A crown of thorn is on his head, and a narrow strip of cloth is wrapped around His thighs. Even the nail in His feet is clearly shown. Some other parts of the scene are darkened and hard to nake out, but there could be a couple of 'angels'/cherubs, one on either side near his waist.
The outer panels are somewhat symmetrical, with a church steeple, and tall spires depicted. Below is a kneeling Mary (not identified, but assumed), for the left-hand panel, while the right-hand has a kneeling apostle /saint (by the imposed halo around the head.
Access: You would also be able to see inside the St Monica's Church on Sunday evenings, for the 5:30 pm Mass, tho come early so as NOT to distract the parishioners. (There is also a Saturday night Vigil, at 6:30 pm.)
