medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The doors of a church connect two parts of the world - in reality and
symbolic. Somehow the liturgy is continued outwards and the Rituals
of the public come near and in. The church as building is a medium
for the people and also the doors: People can read it and people can
use it. You know the importance of entrada in the medieval society.
Therefore it is important, whre you go in or out and how. You have
also to think on many activities just in front of a church-door, e.g.
trials etc. It would be a large and interesting field to discuss the
portals as a form of communication between church and socity, but I
think, it would be too large for this forum.
Yours
