The central portal shows a Coronation of the Virgin in the gable. The north portal of the west façade has a Crucifixion scene in the gable while the south portal has an image of Christ at the Last Judgment in the gable, flanked by angels carrying instruments of the Passion. The five bands of voussoirs of the central portal show a Tree of Jesse and angels. The Tree of Jesse is the family tree of Jesus. Depictions of the Jesse Tree are based on a passage from the Book of Isaiah. “And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots” (King James Version). In the New Testament the lineage of Jesus is traced by two of the Gospel writers, Matthew in descending order, and Luke in ascending order. Luke's Gospel's description in chapter 3 begins with Jesus himself and is traced all the way back, via Nathan to David and then on to “Adam, which was [the son] of God.”. (Luke 3:23-38) Matthew's Gospel opens with the words: “The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.” (Matthew 1:1) With this beginning, Matthew shows the Abrahamic and royal descent, passing through David, but then through Solomon.
