UK and Europe Roadtrip - Constance Cathedral

One of the most interesting gothic works of art in Constance Cathedral is the Holy Sepulchre. It was created in the mid 1200s and has the shape of a dodecagon with scenes of Christ's life around the outside. At the top are the twelve apostles holding their religious symbols. The construction is thought to signify Christ's burial cave. Select the photo below to see what is housed inside it - a receptacle for Easter religious icons.
