Two weeks ago we visited the Bern Minster. The vaulted ceilings were gorgeous. Of particular note is the Dance of Death window, showing death approaching kings, the old, the young etc. A bit eery for the present moment, but may we be reminded of the words of St John of Chrysostom, “We should not dread any human I’ll, save sin alone; neither poverty, nor disease, nor insult, nor malicious treatment, nor humiliation, nor death.” Finally, there are some interesting sculpture on the choir stalls, including Moses with horns. (Traditionally Moses is depicted with horns because Jerome accidentally mistranslated the rays of light from Moses’ face as horns). #cathedral #switzerland #vaultedceilings #beautifuleurope #traveldestinations #travel #moses #coronavirus #jerome #church #schweiz #danceofdeath #dansemacabre #Chrysostom https://www.instagram.com/p/B9wLdQkqoHX/?igshid=lxfhzt3o6k73
