Divinity School monogram
The ceremonial entrance to the Sheldonian Theatre is on the south side, facing the Divinity School in whose north wall Sir Christopher Wren made a door through which processions could pass from the Divinity School to his new Theatre. Above the door from the Divinity School is a monogram of Wren's initials, and under the arch an inscription in Greek painted on an open book, taken from St Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, verse 46, the English translation of which reads:
They found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors.
