Lots of things contribute: encyclopedic decoration at cathedrals/monasteries; Christianization of time; immediacy of agricultural calendar in medieval towns (food, work, festivals); cathedral as image of a community; value of landed wealth for churches with huge estates and collecting tithes

If she manages to win, and hold both Houses of Congress, defeating what is cast as an existential threat to democracy (and a lot else) from a GOP ready to use any means to achieve its ends, surely the Dems can't just shrug and say "But, the filibuster..." They'd never win again.

My entry in the snakiness sweepstakes, Master Niccolò at San Zeno, Verona.

Adam and Eve stand naked, facing one another, to either side of the Tree of Knowledge. The serpent coils around the trunk and Eve takes a fruit from his mouth. With her left hand, she hands another to Adam who reaches behind the tree. Adam is already eating another fruit, while Eve watches.
