Document Summary
* don"t meet in class monday, meet at 66th and 1st for a walking tour of some churches. Cathedral of saint-lazare in autun, france (aka the autun cathedral) For st. lazarus (who jesus rose from the dead) Associated with the european pilgrimage as a healing church. Images carved into the capitals of the columns. Angel pointing to the star above the three magi telling them not to tell the king about jesus" birth. Stigmata (wounds jesus got when he was put on the cross) The last judgement when christ returns to earth and judges everyone/tells them whether they"re going to heaven or hell. Dexter (correct, italian for right side, heaven side) Sinistra (incorrect, italian for left side, hell side) Sculptures in the rest of the relief are weighing souls - not classical looking, they almost have an imaginative quality to them.
