- The three windows in the apse, taken together, are an example of typology, in which an episode (type) in the Old Testament pre-figures an episode (antitype) in the New Testament. Thus Jonah’s emergence unscathed from the whale, shown in , and Elijah’s translation as a rejuvenated youth, shown in , are the Old Testament types, and the Resurrection, shown in , is the corresponding New Testament antitype.
