| Item Description: | This gallery, located over the narthex, accommodates the Cathedral Choir of 50 voices. In addition to the organ console it houses a complete 66 note console for Flemish Bells plus the playing controls for the English Carillon. The mural depicts the ascent of the Prophet Elijah into heaven in the fiery chariot, with Elisha waiting to receive the prophet's mantle. A portion of the vault is also visible in this scene, showing the symbolic Tree of Jesse |
