Page "Stanford Memorial Church" Paragraph 56

Behind the altar is a mosaic reproduction of Roselli's " Last Supper ".

Around the lower walls of the chancel are twelve niches decorated with golden mosaic tiles.

They hold candles, but originally held statues of the twelve apostles, destroyed in 1906 and were never replaced.

According to local legend, the cherubim carved in stone above the golden niches and in the pillars ' capitals are illustrations of children living on campus at the time of the church's construction.

To the west side of the chancel stands brass lectern in the form of a reading angel, which Jane Stanford brought from Europe and dedicated to her husband on the anniversary of his birth in 1902.
