No image of our Lady.

No crucifix hung on the wall.
But, in a niche above the altar, stood a wondrous figure of the Christ; not dying, not dead; not glorified and ascending; but the Christ as very man, walking the earth in human form, yet calmly, unmistakably, triumphantly Divine.

The marble form was carved by the same hand as the Madonna which the Bishop had brought from Rome, and placed in Mora's cell at the Convent.

It had been his gift to his old friend the Hermit.

At first sight of it, Mora remembered hearing it described by the Bishop himself.
