On entering the new Nadur cemetery dedicated to the Divine Mercy, one comes across various mosaic tombstones, including a glowing one showing the Ascension of Jesus Christ over Ramla valley (pictured above).

Made of glass by Mary Portelli, the figure of Christ is taken from a drawing by Lazzaro Pisani.

Portelli used only glass to build up the image. The figure of Christ is based on a stained glass window that is found at the Nadur church.
