Leading the procession on the far right is the Virgin Mary, dressed in blue and with hands folded in prayer. Next is St. Peter the Apostle, wearing a chasuble and holding the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven as well as a pastor's staff. Following him on the left is the hermit Dadon, founder of the first oratory at Conques. Bringing up the rear at the far left is an abbot.
