The story tells how the Blessed Reginald, once the dean to the Bishop of Orleans, became a Dominican friar (a member of the religious order founded by Saint Dominic). Saint Dominic is shown on the right of the column, praying before a vision of the Virgin Mary and two beautiful young women. He is praying for the speedy recovery of Reginald, shown to the left in his sickbed.
The Virgin Mary and the two women also appeared to Reginald and healed him with ointment. They offer him the habit of the Dominican Order which he accepted, joining them.
