2020年法国邮政再次发行了亚眠大教堂邮票。
邮票的左侧显示亚眠大教堂的迷宫。它象征着救赎之旅的障碍和曲折,但也表明了有决心的旅程是可能的。
A labyrinth in the centre of the floor of the nave was a common feature of early and High Gothic cathedrals; they were also found in the cathedrals of Sens, Chartres, Arras and Reims. It symbolised the obstacles and twists and turns of the journey toward salvation, but also showed that with determination the journey was possible. On certain religious holidays, pilgrims would follow the labyrinth on their knees. The Amiens labyrinth is 240 meters long. It was originally put in place in 1288 by the architect Rene de Cormont. The labyrinth today is not the original, but an exact copy, made in the 19th century. (en.Wikipedia.org/Amiens Cathedral) |
