Carved capital from the narthex of Vezelay Abbey church, Vezelay, Yonne, Burgundy, France. Vezelay Abbey was a Benedictine and Cluniac monastery founded in the 9th century by St Badilo, who was said to have brought back relics of Mary Magdalene from the Holy Land. The Abbey Church or Basilica of St Mary Magdalene is a 12th century Burgundian Romanesque church. This capital depicts the story of St John the Baptist. A disciple asks Christ if he is the true messiah, Christ gestures yes, allowing John to die. On the right, his head is placed on a plate to be presented to Salome. Picture by Manuel Cohen
