A Bible Storyline - Frieze
Upon entering the narthex from the courtyard entrance, look up and notice on the walls to the left and right, a series of friezes. There are a total of 36 images which highlight many of the most familiar stories from both the Old and New Testaments.
These beautiful works of art were designed and created by Barry Parks. Each design was cut from corrugated plastic sheeting using an Exacto knife.
*The vesica piscis is a sacred geometrical symbol in which the circumference of one circle goes through the center of another identical circle. The bit in the middle is the vesica. It is the sacred geometrical figure of the last two thousand years. Extend one end of the vesica and you get a fish - the symbol in Roman times that you were a Christian. The top half of the vesica made the Gothic arch.
