In the upper part of the semi-cylinder of the apse is represented the Communion of the Apostles.Christ id depicted twice, showing from the small side openings of a polygonal ciborium, and followed by an angel carrying a fan. On the left of the composition Christ is offering the bred to the Apostle Peter while giving a blessing. On the right half, he is offering the wine to the Apostle Paul, holding a large chalice in both hands.
