Chartres, south side, right--"Bay of the Confessors"

TYMPANUM and LINTEL

Christ flanked by two angels.

Left side

• Martin lies asleep with his servant. He sees Christ wearing half of the cloak (the other half which Martin kept can be seen on the wall above his sleeping form, but not in this image).

Right side:

•St. Nicholas' bier provides healing oil which oozes from him. Pilgrims are applying the oil, and have containers in which to bear some away.
