Le verre représente une femelle pélican allaitant ses petits du sang de sa propre poitrine percée – une allégorie ancestrale de la Passion du Christ et de l’Eucharistie. L’œuvre intègre la devise officielle d’Arbois : « Sic his quos diligo » (Ainsi je fais
ceux que j’aime), témoignant d’un profond engagement civique et spirituel. ~VVVVV+~

The glass portrays a mother pelican feeding her young with blood from her own pierced breast—a long-standing allegory for the Passion of Jesus and the Eucharist. The artwork incorporates the official motto of Arbois: “Sic his quos diligo” (Thus I make those I love), reflecting deep civic and spiritual devotion. ~VVVVV+~
