Rosheim - Saints-Pierre-et-Paul
The construction of the "Église Saints-Pierre-et-Paul" started around 1150. The church is known for the carvings. Though some of these got damaged during the French Revolution, most of them are still in place. Size and the quality of some of them is really breathtaking.
Looking to the central window of the main apse. The large carvings seem to be glued on to the wall. The symbols of the evangelists. On the left the eagle (John), the ox (Luke), on the right the angel (Matthew)and the lion (Marc).
The perfectly carved lion has wings and a nimbus. Being the symbol of Marc, the evangelist, he holds a book in his paws.
