 This Cathedral has two rose windows. The one shown at left is in the West wall. The colours are mainly gold, red and blue, and the window is suggestive of the movements of a ball of fire or the sun, symbolizing God’s Love. There is a central motif ‘I.H.S.’ – the first three letters in Greek of the Holy Name of Jesus. The small and attractive rose window shown at right is in the North transept. It is constructed with eight interlocking circles. The major feature appears to be eight flowers, and it is possible that the designs around the outer edge are birds. The colours are predominantly red and blue.
