The window also shows:
- Simon of Cyrene holding the
cross that he helped our Savior to carry
- Judas running away while
holding the bag containing the thirty pieces of silver
- Joseph of Arimathea, one of the
Jewish religious leaders, making his tomb ready for Jesus' body
- Saint Longinus, who pierced
Christ's side with a lance
- Jonah coming from the mouth of
the whale, prefiguring Jesus' three days in the tomb
- Samson, who by his strength
prefigures Christ's victorious struggle with death
- Instruments of Christ's torture: the
crown of thorns and the three nails
- The curtain of the temple being torn
in two at the moment of Christ's death
