Line 50: The importance of [[The Last Judgment]] is a substantial element in the power of the church over its congregation. What the fresco depicts is the end of the world, and the judgment that will befall all of mankind. Here people are assessed for their sins, and if they have asked forgiveness for their sins. Although it would be foolish to assume that all who visited the church at the time believed exactly what was depicted on its walls, we can draw conclusions about the messages the church was trying to portray about the importance of confession and a sense of self-assessment when it comes to the question of morality. Many of the frescos were painted over and only some have been restored. Many of the frescos were painted over and only some have been restored. Through this we are able to draw conclusions about the churches attitudes at different times based on what they chose to show to the congregation. One example is seen through the 9th century fresco of Christ performing a miracle. The Miracles of Christ are both a central part of the bible as well as a central part of Christian beliefs. The depictions of Christ’s youth, life and passion allows for the illiterate man to see him in his greatness. One of the Fresco’s seen here is a painting of Christ healing a deaf mute. The painting shows Christ touching the man in the mouth, and looks of exclamation and wonder by those present is shown by the artist’s use of darker colors for the eyebrows and eyes, allowing them to appear amazed. The proportions of the characters also highlight their importance and give the viewer a slight sense of depth, as the figures of Christ and the deaf mute are slightly larger than those of the observers. The apses and the eastern wall were repainted in the 12th century with [[Romanesque art\|Romanesque]] frecsos showing a variety of [[Bible\|biblical]] themes including the dinner of [[Herod Antipas]] (where the dancing of [[Herodias]]' daughter leads to the execution of [[John the Baptist]]<ref>{{Bibleverse\|\|Matthew\|14:6–11\|NRSV}}; {{Bibleverse\|\|Mark\|6:19–28\|NRSV}}</ref>), the [[Parable of the Ten Virgins\|wise and foolish virgins]], [[apostles]], and [[Saint Stephen\|St. Stephen]].<ref name="HDS" />
