Description
"Mary brought in a pound of very costly ointment, pure nard, and with it anointed the feet of Jesus, wiping them with her hair; the house was full of the scent of the ointment." Jn 12:3
Mary Magdalene at Christ's feet at the banquet of Simon, Cathedral of St. Mary, Segovia, Spain. This image was captured in the Cathedral of Segovia in 2014, at a temporary installation of stained glass windows part of a restoration project (2010-2016).
The Cathedral of Segovia, dedicated to the Virgin Mary was the last Gothic cathedral built in Spain. Built at the highest point of the town, construction of this cathedral began in the year 1525, during the reign of Carlos V. It is in the late Gothic style and was built after the fire in the old Romanesque cathedral in the year 1520. The church was built according to the design of Juan Gil de Hontañón, and has three doorways: the Puerta del Perdón, the work of Juan Guas, is on the main façade, while on the southern face we have the San Geroteo and San Frutos Doors. The main altarpiece is made of marble, jasper and bronze. It was consecrated in the year 1768 (excerpt Spain.Info).
