The 2nd Glorious Mystery: The Ascension of Jesus. 

"So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God" (Mk 16:19).

Christ is ascending in glory while blessing his people and holding a scroll which represents fulfillment of the old testament and knowledge, Jesus is the source of all knowledge.

This "icon" shows also those who did not actually witness the historical ascenscion (St. Paul) because we are called like them to participate in Christ's acenscion. The group represent the Church focused on Christ.

The rainbow is of emerald like the book of revelation describes on His second coming because as the angels say, he will return in the same way.

So much more I could say but a lot comes from just prayerful contemplation on the mystery. ^_^
