Worshippers kneel at the steps of the altar. The priest officiating the mass, his back turned to the congregation is looking up in rapture, hands raised in amazement, to a vision of God the Father high on a cloud, upheld by angels, overlooking the Mass below, while the Dove of the Holy Spirit shines the light upon the Scriptures proferred by angels.
