Looking up into the central dome you see a golden Latin Cross surrounded by symbolism.
The long arm of the cross points towards East, as salvation is supposed to come from this direction. The cross is surrounded by the concentric circles of golden stars which seem to sparkle with mysterious light. The pendentives of the dome are occupied by the symbolic representations of the four Evangelists: the lion stands for St. Mark, ox for St. Luke, eagle for St. John and winged man for St. Matthew. |
