Dome Pendentive Crosses

Four pendentive crosses arch downward and are adorned with gold-leafed trefoils each bearing a "cross of redemption."  Depicted is the cross of Christ as the Lamb of God with blood and water flowing from its side; the cross of Christ as the Tree of Life ("I am the vine and you are the branches"); the cross of Christ as the Alpha and the Omega: he is our beginning and our ending; and the cross of Christ as Victor over sin and death.
