Christ and the 24 Elders of the Apocalypse. An adaptation of St. John's vision in Revelation 4. The fire coming from Christ's hands might represent the phrase, "From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder" (4:5). Detail of the Apocalypse Window in the ambulatory of Bourges Cathedral, dating from c.1215-25.
