MOSAICS

The large mosaic of the Basilica's central vault presents Saint Anne:

		The life of Saint Anne is portrayed in the nave and the two transepts;
		Her virtues are written on the part of the vault where the nave meets the transepts;
		The glorification of Saint Anne is seen on the vault of the apse (the part of the vault found over the sanctuary). Here we see Saint Anne with Mary and Jesus. Saint Anne is presenting a fruit to Jesus, the fruit of life: a symbol of his mission as Redeemer, who came to save the world from original sin, the fruit of death.
On the wall surrounding the sanctuary, a mosaic depicts nine different scenes representing the history of the Eucharist.
