canopy (above), on the left you have the water jugs from the story of
the wedding feast at
Cana (Jn 2: 6-10); and on the right is Jonah and the
whale (Jon 1:15 - 2:1).

left you have the wheel of the pharaoh's chariot being swept away by the
Red Sea (Ex 14: 26-28); and on the right is Noah's ark and
the dove returning with the olive branch in its beak (Gen 8: 10-11).

Moses in the desert which yielded flowing water (Ex 17:6-7).
