      I’ve seen many documentaries about this statue and from the first, I found it beautiful and engrossing. But then again, I’ve never been a christian - my family’s pagan roots go back to the very beginning of time. And to honest, I sometimes find “christian” churches and cathedrals “terrifying” in their preservation of a dark-ages kind of sad reverence for spooky dieities and weird rituals. And paintings that are mystifying.
