Missionary vocation of Jesuits
Description
In the centre of the composition, against a background of clouds, the silhouette of The Risen Christ standing on the globe and holding a tall cross. At his feet, we can see kneeling St. Ignacy Loyola with the sign of the Host on his chest, from which the rays of light fall on the globe under Christ’s feet to the places marked: Europe, Asia, Africa, America. In four corners, dressed in dark grey habits we can see the figures of Saint Jesuit monks. Each in a different position, embracing tall crosses with chains and ropes around them. Three of them hold martyr’s palm leaves.
