The Church of Saint Francis Xavier, The Apotheosis of St. Francis Xavier
From the Church of St. Francis Xavier Tour Guide available at the church website and at the church entrance:
"The large central medallion, The Apotheosis of St. Francis Xavier, above the altar area depicts St. Francis Xavier born heavenward by angels. The four lesser medallions include angels carrying scrolls representing his virtues:
A green palm of victory for Xavier, Apostle of the Indies
A lily of chastity of Xavier, Virgin in Soul and Body
A cross and chalice for Defender of the Faith
A mirror in hand for Mirror of True Piety"
