Description

Two stained glass windows each form one half of the scene depicted. The adoration of the altar sacrament is placed on the left side of the picture. A young woman stands at the foot of the altar as a symbol of faith. She wears a long white dress. The shades of colour of this dress continue the incense that rises from the vessels swung by angels on the right half of the picture. The monstrance surrounded by a wreath of clouds stands on the altar. In the right half of the picture, the crucified Christ bends down to the figure of the ecclesia to offer her his blood, which she collects in a chalice. In the left half of the picture there is a ram which was sacrificed by Abraham instead of Isaac. It heralds the death of Christ. On a long frieze running behind the angels, an inscription commemorates the founder, the Brotherhood of the Sacraments.

It is interesting how the host is depicted. Mehoffer uses an un-tinted, transparent glass pane. With the host in the ray monstrance, he represents the materialisation of the body of Christ through the transubstantiation during the Eucharist. The transparency of the glass pane makes it obvious that the mystery of the altar sacrament, the so-called transubstantiation, cannot be represented.
