St Gregory the Great, in papal robes, and St Bernard, with his Abbot's mitre, can be seen kneeling in the middle section.The other saints are St Benedict of Nursia, standing behind St Gregory, and St Robert of Molesme, standing behind St Bernard. Above them are Apostles and St John the Baptist, and the Blessed Virgin. At the top is the Holy Trinity, to whom their prayers are directed.
