In traditional and orthodox belief, Mary was assumed into heaven because of God's great love for her. In this portrayal of the Assumption of Mary, Christ holds a crown for her coronation as Queen of Heaven. The style of art is reminiscent of the famous painting of the Immaculate Conception by the Spanish artist, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo. As in the Ascension window in the north transept, red-winged seraphim stand guard to the entrance to heaven. Mary is surrounded by angels and saints.
