CREDO·SANCTORVM·COMMVNIONEM (I believe in the communion of saints) from the Apostles’ Creed.
St Milorus. At the top of the window is the crown of glory, with the seven mystic stars, typical of the holy spirit of God. Below the crown is a banner on which is written GLORIA·IN·EXCELSIS·DEO (Glory to God in the highest) from the Gloria in Excelsis. Below the banner are two guardian angels above St Melorus in a canopied niche. On the scrolls at the bottom, which have a background of grapes symbolising the blood of martyrs, is written TE·MARTYRVM CANDIDATVS·LAVDAT EXERCITVS·TE·PER ORBEM·TERRARVM·SANCTA·CONFITETVR·ECCLESIA PATREM·IMMENSÆ·MAIESTATIS (The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you: Father, of majesty unbounded) from the Te Deum laudamus.
SANCTVS·MELORVS·MARTYR· (St Melorus martyr ).
St Melorus holds a sword, the instrument of his martyrdom, in his left hand and a palm frond, the symbol of martyrdom, in his right hand. Next to him is a white lily of purity.
