Stained glass window of the Descent from the Cross, detail of ladder and skull, designed by artist Jean Michel Alberola, b. 1953, and made by master glassmaker Dominique Duchemin, in the Chapel of Memory in Nevers Cathedral, or Cathedral of Saint Cyricus and Saint Julitta of Nevers, Nevers, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France. The cross is tau-shaped (last letter of the Hebrew alphabet, sign of redemption) and is violet, the colour of Christ's Passion. Jesus' body has been brought down and he is mourned by the Virgin, 'Mater dolorosa'. A skull in the lower right corner represents Golgotha, ??'place of the skull'. The project to commission contemporary stained glass windows in the cathedral was begun 1987-88 under Dominique Bozo, and they were inaugurated on 29th April 2011. The building is listed as a national monument. Picture by Manuel Cohen
