The Murals - The Nave

The iconography of the nave is taken from the early Christian church, reflecting the desire of the Catholic Apostolic Church for the union all Christianity. On the north wall are scenes from the life of Christ showing the nativity, baptism, ministry, last supper, betrayal, entombment, resurrection and ascension. It is noteworthy that the Passion is not depicted, reflecting the paramount importance to the Catholic Apostolic Church of the resurrection and the after-life.

The south wall illustrates the Old Testament precursors, starting with Adam and Eve (opposite the Nativity), Cain and Abel (opposite the massacre of the Innocents) through scenes of God’s Covenant with Noah, Abraham and Joseph, ending with three scenes from the life of David: anointing, Ark of the Covenant and David giving the plans of the Temple to Solomon: the Temple of Jerusalem being the precursor to the Kingdom of Christ on Earth.
