Eglise Saint-Lazare, AVALLON, Burgundy, France

            The Church of St Lazare (12th century) in Avallon has a Romanesque façade carved with the signs of the zodiac and musicians of the Apocalypse. It was completed in the 12th century and then needed to be extended because too many pilgrims were coming to witness the fragment of Saint Lazare's skull, which is said to fend off leprosy.
