Sacred Destinations

An illustrated guide to sacred sites, pilgrimages, sacred art and historic religious places around the world.

Basilica dei Santi Cosma e Damiano, Rome

Below the main scene of the apse mosaic is the Lamb of God with a silver halo, surrounded by 12 sheep symbolizing the apostles. The Lamb stands on a hill with Bethlehem on the right and Jerusalem on the left, and the four rivers of Paradise (labeled GION, PISON, TIGRIS, EVFRATA) flow down from it.
