The Head of an Apostle from the South Portal of the Cathedral stands as a testament to the intricate craftsmanship that adorned this sacred place. In ancient manuscripts like Ms 698 fol. 34r, we find depictions of miracles performed by St. Omer himself, who once walked these very streets. The city's rich religious heritage is further highlighted by John Of Lorraine, a French Cardinal who held prestigious positions in various dioceses including Thérouanne. Leaf Psalter Initial D Fool Rebuked God takes us back to a time when illuminated manuscripts were treasured possessions, showcasing artistic brilliance and devotion to faith. But Therouanne was not just about religion; it harbored mystical wonders too. A Dragon and Two Doves nestled within its trees symbolize both danger and peace coexisting side by side. A Magnet Stone speaks volumes about the scientific curiosity that thrived within its walls. Even animals found their place in Therouanne's stories - An Elephant Carrying Three Soldiers reminds us of exotic encounters beyond imagination while Amos and Three Goats tell tales of simplicity amidst chaos. From folklore comes A Hen with her watchful eyes guarding secrets untold while A Magpie adds an air of mystery with its cunning ways.
