| The good Samaritan, as depicted in cathedrals in Chartres, Bourges, and Sens, France, exemplifies the redemptive power of Jesus Christ. The good Samaritan windows in these cathedrals juxtapose scenes from the parable against scenes from the fall and redemption of mankind, thus pointing to a once-popular allegorical interpretation of the story. |
