"Jerusalem Triptych" refers to the Apocalypse of St. John, presenting powerful Christian symbolism. At its center, a cross on the plan of the Holy Sepulcher acts as a “key” that opens the gate to the Heavenly Jerusalem. A subtle bas-relief of St. John Paul II celebrating the Eucharist emerges from the background. Surrounding squares represent the colonnade of Christ’s Tomb, symbolizing the twelve Apostles or tribes of Israel. Above is the Throne of Grace, with Christ the High Priest supported by God the Father. The surrounding walls and twelve gates, each with cross-shaped pearls, represent Jerusalem.

The crowns of these symbolic trees-candlesticks form diverse crosses, reflecting the diversity of Christ's Church while at the same time demonstrating unity as they all are rooted from one trunk of faith.
