Oil on canvas. A kneeling saint bishop receives communion from Jesus Christ, who has descended from Heaven, while an angel holds the Cross and a small cherub holds a candle of devotion. The figure of the bishop, which cannot be linked to a specific figure, may represent the universal Church and its devotion to Christ through participation in the Eucharistic banquet. The painting has been restored and re-stretched in the past. It is presented in a mid-20th century frame.
