The Blessed Sacrament Chapel is in the left transept of the Cathedral. Against the black marble of the back wall rise panels of pierced gold-leafed woodwork which frame the pilasters and pediments of the altar and tabernacle. Along the architrave above the columns is the Latin inscription, "Heart of Jesus burning with love for us," and on the tympanum (the triangular face of the pediment) the Greek symbols for "Jesus Christ, the Victor." The angels on either side are the work of Ernest Bruce Haswell. On the wall behind the tabernacle is a base which holds the monstrance during exposition of the Eucharist. The Chapel's sidewalls are cream Tavernelle, the pillars Imperial Black marble. |
