Entitled 'The Kiss', this scultpure represents the moment that Judas betrays Christ on Mount Olive. Notice the magic square, where the rows, columns and diagonals add up to 33 - many believe this represents the age Christ died.

All over the church is this magic square, though supposedly it's not a true magic square because not all rows and columns add up to the same number. Some are off by 1 or 2.

This is a picture of the massive door that was filled with embossed text. Very cool.
