In the lintel below the Archangel St Michael is seen weighing the souls of the dead. Those to the right are saved and move towards the figure of Abraham who holds the souls in a napkin.

Hello Csaba,
This is a fantastic capture of this impressive Ghotic architecture executed with a superb quality. Especially the sharpness and attention on details were management perfectly so we can admire the smallest element of the facade. Very well done and thanks for sharing!

Best wishes,
Gosia
