Weeping Window (Beweinungsfenster)

The main picture depicts Mary, cradling the body of the crucified Christ.
The upper middle is the last supper.
The 2 small pictures show the resurrected Christ appearing to Mary Magdalene & Thomas.
On the bottom stand Matthew, Mark, Luke & John, the writers of the 4 gospels.

This is one of 3 large stained glass windows on the south (right) side of the Cathedral.
