On the tops of these columns are twelve figures representing the twelve gifts and fruits of this most holy Sacrament, as they are told of by Saint Thomas in his treatise on this mystery:—
(1) The conquest of the Devil, represented by a maiden beautified and adorned with a palm and a cross. The inscription on the pedestal says, Fuga dæmonis.
(2) Spiritual cheerfulness and delight, in the form of another maiden, holding a wand wreathed with boughs and tendrils of the vine, and in her other hand some ears of wheat. The inscription says, Hilaritas.
(3) Purity of soul, represented by a heart among flames, suspended over a crucible. The inscription, Puritas.
(4) Self-knowledge, represented by a figure of Reason, holding in one hand a mirror, in which she regards herself, and in the other hand a leafy bough. The inscription says, Cognitio sui.
(5) Peace, and the appeasing of the wrath of God, represented by a figure holding in one hand an olive bough, and in the other a cornucopia filled with grapes and wheat. The inscription, Reconciliatio.
