A really beautiful fresco

Tired of frescoes yet??

Angels on the ceiling

In this fresco, Jesus' eyes are scratched out.
When enemies of Christianity defiled the churches, they would scratch out the eyes of the people in the frescoes.
By doing so, they believed that they were removing the souls of the people in the paintings.

The picture on the bottom is of St.George killing the dragon. The picture above him on the left is the locust representing the devil.
