View of one side - the arch mosaic shows both the Hospitality of Abraham and the Sacrifice of Isaac... There are also depictions of Moses and Jeremiah the prophet, and above them the Gospel evangelists (the Christian Church built upon the foundations and revelation of the Jewish faith). I wish I had time to go into the symbolism and placement of Biblical images throughout all the mosaics, but alas... If you like what little you see here, go search out more info on Ravenna and it's churches!
