Weighing Souls
The outside of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris has carvings of the Archangel Gabriel and Satan weighing souls during the Last Judgement. The cathedral was completed in the mid-1300's before literacy was widespread, so a lot of religious teachings were done with carved images and by other means. Not far from Notre-Dame is a Gothic church called Sainte-Chapelle whose beautiful stained glass windows show Bible stories.
