Venezia - Basilica di San Marco

Venezia - Basilica di San Marco
Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year.

As each tourist takes at least 100 photos (minimum!) in Venice 3000000000 photos are taken here per year, what means more than 8 millions per day. Many of them are uploaded and can be found in the web.

Even the facade of the Basilica di San Marco has wonderful mosaics.

Seen here is - Genesis 9:20-27

"And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father’s nakedness.

And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant."

Yes, you are right.

From the many photos I took of the mosaics in Venice, this is the most "uncommon". I cannot remember having seen this scene so explicit.
