Judas’ Betrayal

Following the sequence of the facade, I did not capture a photo of The Last Supper.

I start with Judas’s kiss and the Magic Square.

The Magic Square is said to equal 33 both horizontally and vertically.

33 is the age of Jesus when he died.

Note the snake at Judas’s feet.

Flagellation at the Pillar

This facade was certainly much more grim that the Nativity Facade.

Walking from the interior, we were greeted with a statue of Jesus tied to a column.

However, as mentioned, the sequence of the facade starts before this.
