They bring out by means of type and anti-type the relationship of the Old to the New Testament, and show the process of Gods gradual revelation of Himself in Christ. The history of Noah, Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, in twelve of the panels of the W. half of the chapel, with the figures of the twelve minor prophets in the four windows above, and of the four greater prophets with David, Solomon, Samuel, and Elijah in the W.windows, refer to the earlier dispensations. A series of events from the New Testament,—the Annunciation, the Nativity, Baptism, Crucifixion, and Resurrection of Our Lord,—is represented in mosaics, placed in the E. half of the chapel. The Ascension of Our Lord is represented in the glass of the E. window. * The Chapel is entered through a small cloister at its W. end, and is open daily from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 5.30; in the winter months it is closed at 4p.m.
