More Amazing Sights from Churches, May 4.
Walking home from the left bank Saturday, I stopped at the medieval/renaissance church that is St. Etienne-du-Mont. It's behind the more famous Pantheon.
There is an indoor cloister, as it was a monastery to begin with, at the rear of the church with very interesting I think 16th century painted glass -- much of which has been recently restored. What astonished me most was the panel depicting the body of Christ laid out in red liquid, and beside -a wine press, with his redeeming blood being collected like wine.
Of course, Noah loaded unicorns on his ark.
