A Guide to the Yattir Mosaic
What do the symbols that embellish the mosaic floor of the Yattir church tell us about the beliefs of early Christians? Within the jumble of images in the 23 registers of the mosaic floor, author Joanne Besonen discerns an orderly progression of ideas. Here, surrounding a diagram of the nave floor (the entrance to the church is at left), is a gallery of the symbols and brief descriptions of them. Besonen describes and interprets these symbols at length in the accompanying article.
