A closer view of the tapestries on one side of the cathedral.
It was the custom in the Order of St John that when elected Grandmaster – and that was for life – the Knight selected gives a reward or present to the Order.
The tapestries were consequently the gift from Ramon Perellos y Roccafull when he was elected Grand Master in 1697. They depict The Triumph of the Eucharist and episodes from the Life of Christ . The majority of them are based on paintings prepared by reknown artist Peter Paul Rubens.
Thank you very much for your views, comments and fav's on yesterday's picture - much appreciated.
