Sitting in the south transept the other day, I realised that this could be called "The Chapel of the Annunciation" celebrating the Angel's announcing to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. In the traditional Collect for the Annunciation we pray "that as we have known the incarnation of thy Son Jesus Christ by the message of an angel, so by his cross and passion we may be brought unto the glory of his resurrection". And here on the left of the arch we see a colourful representation of angel, whilst to the right of the arch are a reminder of Jesus' suffering and death on the cross and of his resurrection in the light burning to show his risen presence.
