ascension of St Benedict - stained glass

This is a panel of stained glass which was originally in the Basilica of St Denis in Paris (probably in the chevet).

 

It dates back to 1140-44 and shows two monks watching as (out of view) St Benedict ascends to heaven.

 

It is now on display in the Musée de Cluny in Paris.
