Looking upward, looking inward

While thinking about the 'keystones' the other day, I was reminded of an amazing 900+ year-old Anglican Cathedral in Norwich, England. The ceiling is supported by countless (to me) arches, each decorated with a biblical scene at its center (a 'boss'). Meandering over to their website, I was delighted to find an on-line reflection on the early life of Jesus (from the Annunciation to finding the child Jesus in the temple), each demonstrated in architectural sacred art through their roof bosses.

A note - when I last looked at this site, about half of the meditations were missing their images, but perhaps it will be enhanced in time for your enjoyment during this Christmas season.  Please click here for the Norwich Cathedral (England) meditation, no passport required!
