| Bernard and Benedict are depicted in two adjacent pointed stained glass windows from c 1340 in the upper cloister of the North German nunnery of Wienhausen (Celle). The two are separated by a square panel above containing a biblical scene witnessed by a kneeling nun. Bernard is in a greyish blue habit, Benedict in greyish violet, the colour usually used in medieval glass to denote black. They each carry a book in the right hand and a white crozier with a yellow foliate crook (For a picture of St Benedict, see France 1998, colour pl 2).
