The chapel while being an autonomous unit and maintained architecturally distinct from original body, it results in continuity with the church: the interior of the chapel is entirely visible from the nave through the continuous glass and its formal articulation could be perceived as an added aisle .
The artistic stained glass is not only an iconic element that identies the intervention, but develops a narrative role.
The subject manifests a spiritual representation of an episode: “Mane Nobiscum” – “Stay with us, Lord” is the heartfelt appeal that the two disciples of Emmaus turn to the mysterious man the meet along their walk.
