Eglise Notre Dame la Grande

The meta story (as they say) is - Bottom Tier (the most interesting): Jesus is announced by the prophets and born - some of these scenes are shown below. Middle Tier: The word of God is spread by the 12 apostles and 2 local saints - Hilary and Martin. Top Tier (oval medallion): Jesus, surrounded by the symbols of the 4 evangelists, is glorified.

Bottom and Middle Tiers
|
|
|
|
On the left - our old friends Adam and Eve, next to a new player in these pages - Nebuchadnezzar
|
|
|
|
Next to King Neb are the four prophets Daniel and Jeremiah (not pictured) then Isaiah and Moses (pictured) followed by the Annunciation and the Tree of Jesse.
|
|
|
|
Tier I A: Not all the spectators have been there since the beginning, one suspects, but so what ?
|
|
|
|
On the right side of Tier I, Jesus is born and gets his first wash whilst Joseph looks on, and underneath peace and justice indulge in a cautious embrace (truly, but we wouldn't bet on this relationship lasting)
|
|
|
|
Top Tier: On the bottom left - the Lion of Mark, then clockwise the Angel of Matthew, the Eagle of John and the Calf of Luke.
