Memorial for the Priest Victims of WWII

A plaque commemorates the priests who fell victim in the Second World War in the Saint-Paul Cathedral.

At the top is the Lamb of God carrying a cross, symbolizing Jesus as the Lamb of God.
To the left of the lamb is a chalice in which the blood of the lamb (ie the blood of Jesus) runs. This refers to the Last Supper, where Jesus passes a cup of wine and says it is "his blood" that is shed for all people and takes away the sin of the world.

Below the text, drawn up in the 2 national languages, French and Dutch.
