Four depictions of prophets in mosaic on the west side of the dome complement the pictures of the Four Evangelists which can be seen in the east, closer to quire and apse. Starting with Isaiah the sequence of the mosaics echoes how the books of the depicted are arranged in the Christian Gospel. At first glance quite uniform, upon closer inspection, each prophet and evangelist is depicted in a way that sums up characteristics associated with them. The Evangelists are also shown with their traditional symbols.\par
