A painting of Mother Mary from a local Maltese church is restored by Alistair as a matter of penance for the killing of the German pilot. The painting becomes Alistair’s best work of restoration ever, being undertaken during his own convalescence. The painting is destroyed in a German air raid when Alistair and Briggs are bringing it back to the church.
