A few slinky cross pictures to muse the day,this one struck me initially for its architectural cross, not a symbol atop the building but a part of the structure itself. Upon further inspection the three animals and the human figure apparently in four separate parts of the bible translate to
Human/Angel = Matthew
Lion = John
Ox = Luke
Eagle = Mark
But as to the Evangelical Specifics and the direct relations to this Christian sect, I am at a loss, I did try to ask but the building was empty and in a (lengthy looking) process of reconstruction. Pretty none the less.
For a more detailed description of how they each got their beastly/angelic reputations see below...
