      Lovely. I love to take photos of the ceilings as well, especially the mosaics.

      Very interesting, why do they have those crowns in their hands?

    7. gwilmore (79 months ago | reply)

      The crown actually are halos -- that is, auras of light around their heads which represent holiness.

      Wonderful. I'm crazy about churches and church art.

      Often a crown in the hands is a sign of martyrdom in early Christian iconography.
