Karja Church Relief

Karja Kirik

A relief of the crucifiction, or Golgotha scene, carved in stone. It is located above the door to the entrance hall of St. Catherine's church in Karja. It was originally placed above the southern portal. An interesting detail is that the souls of the thiefs are coming out of their mouths. That of the good thief is being taken by an angel while the bad thief is being taken by the devil.
