Blessed Virgin Mary Window: Medallion B
The Crucifixion (the fifth sorrowful mystery): From the cross, Jesus speaks to his mother Mary.
John, on the other side, holds pen and scroll as evangelist. The moon
and sun symbolize the cosmic response to the event. The cross
inscription INRI is Pilate's sign (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum Latin
for Jesus of Nazareth King of the Jews) (see S. John XIX.19,26).
