Next time you are passing the church porchway, take a look at the Tympanum above the door.The ten carvings are thought to represent the life of St John the Baptist from the announcement of his birth by the Angel Gabriel, to his beheading and ascension into heaven. Reading the arch from right to left the arches depict:1. The altar of incense2. Zacharius bowing before the angel.3. The angel.4. Herod's daughter dancing.5. Herod and his guests.6. St John the Baptist.7. The headman's block.8. The severed head.9. Single figure in the act of carrying - presumably the head.10. Head bent sideways but in the act of rising - showing the Resurrection.See insightsBoost a postLikeCommentSendShare
