Cathedrals

Savigny cathedral. One afternoon off we headed off on the bikes to cycle around the local area and explore. Up hill and down, on very poorly maintained bikes , mine more than Marks. We came across this amazing church in a very small village. ( the post on the blog with the cemetery was outside this church )

Frescoes inside the church which were recently discovered and restored. The top one is the last supper and the one underneath a 6 part story: The Saint Barbara cycle . A young woman called Saint Barbara who converted to Christianity who was saved from death by the sword of her father by divine intervention . The last scene was missing and added during the restoration process .
