Christ Enthroned mosaics Westminster Cathedral London
A detail of the Christ Enthroned mosaic on the tympanum above the main entrance of Westminster Cathedral in London. The cathedral is the largest Catholic church in the UK, the mother church of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales and the seat of the Archbishop of Westminster. The neo-Byzantine style cathedral was built almost entirely of brick, concrete and stone and completed in 1903; its mosaics were added later. This mosaic above the main entrance depicts Jesus as the Christ Pantocrator (usually translated as Almighty or all-powerful) flanked by the Virgin Mary and St Joseph holding a lily flower. Jesus is holding the Book of Life.
