55. The Dormition (Koimesis) of the Virgin
Over the central door from the narthex
The Virgin lies dead on her bier. Behind stands Christ holding her
soul, represented as a babe in swaddling clothes. Over Christ's head
hovers a six-winged seraph. Around stand the apostles, evangelists
and early bishops. The idea is taken from an apocryphal work,
Concerning the Koimesis of the Holy Mother of God,
ascribed to St.
John the Divine.
56. Christ
In panel at left of bema
Inscription as in outer narthex. Christ holds the Gospels open to
Matthew 11:28: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy
laden, and I will give you rest.”
