JOHN

John, brother of James and son of Zebedee, was a fisherman from Galilee. The Bible refers to him as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." John holds a cup which symbolizes the prediction that John and James should drink of the cup that he should drink if they were to sit with him in heaven. Above John's head is the eagle, symbol of the fact that he also was John the Evangelist. At the bottom of the panel, we see Christ standing on the hill overlooking Jerusalem.

Dedication: "In Honor of our Parents by Dr. and Mrs. James Childers"
