The outer circle is marked by the four points of the compass -- North, East, South, and West -- suggesting the four corners of the earth.  The circle consists of eight medallions depicting Christ’s ministry.  Beginning at the top and moving clockwise, the first scene is Christ the Leader, calling the fishermen Andrew and Peter.  The second scene is Christ the Teacher, delivering the Sermon on the Mount.  The third scene is Christ the Friend of Sinners, with the woman of Samaria at the well.  The fourth scene is Christ the Miracle Worker, symbolized by a boy with a basket of loaves and fishes -- the feeding of the five thousand.  The fifth scene is Christ the Healer and Giver of Life, raising Jairus’s daughter.  The sixth scene is Christ the Counselor, with Mary and Martha.  The seventh scene is Christ the Man of Sorrows, praying in the garden of Gethsemane.  The eighth scene is Christ the King, seated in glory.
