The stone panel to the left portrays the Ascension of Jesus Christ, who returned to the Father so He could send us the Holy Spirit. The text is derived from Luke 24:51.
The stone panel on the right shows the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. Here, the Apostles and Mary are shown receiving the Spirit, represented by the dove. The text comes from the Acts 2:4.

It is this Holy Spirit who unites all of us as the Body of Christ. Pentecost was the birth day of the Church.
