# At the ends of the cross, medallions show half-length figures: two angels surround the relic, while the tearful figures of Saint John and the Virgin evoke the frame of a Crucifixion on the lower crosspiece. At the upper and lower ends, we recognize allegories of the Church and the Synagogue. The victorious Church wears a crown and a chalice, an evocation of the Eucharistic sacrifice. It symbolizes the triumph of Christianity over Judaism which remained in darkness, represented by a blindfolded woman with a broken spear.
