Church Continued

C

Still looking at a side chapel, this with Gospel scenes surrounding the center figures. 




This was my favorite: a cherub hiding in that side chapel in a niche unseen by the congregation, and seemingly indulging in a box of chocolates. 



This church must have been well-to-do; the marbles are real, not painted wood, as we have seen frequently elsewhere.



A pre-renovation remnant of a Medieval fresco.


And in the back, by the entrance, the old Baptismal font and chapel, unmarred by disinfectant, with a quite fine fresco of the Baptism of Jesus. 



A harumphing cherub by the narthex door. Bye, cherubs. 



The very weathered church door.



The church portal, not updated in Baroque renovation. 

Next, the church grounds…..
