medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
In Clermont Ferrand, Notre Dame du Port, there is the most funny
expression of Joseph I know, his beard being pulled by Archange
Gabriel because of his incredubility about Mary bearing God's child :

They also like a lot beard-pullers as the expulsion of paradise by
the beard: (folliwing the other thread on this thema)

(BTW there is a dormition/assumption scene with mary eyes opened being
taken for her tomb :
http://romanes.com/Clermont/ND_Port/Notre_Dame_du_Port_de_Clermont_0076.html
another local oddity since the dogma came centuries later...)
