Door of Forgiveness. Seville Cathedral.

Paul and his three hands

In the Door of Forgiveness in the Cathedral of Seville, It is the curious case saint with three hands. The sculptor Miguel Florentín, Renaissance, drawing dated between 1.519 and 1.522. The work consists of a relief of Jesus chasing the merchants from the temple, Archangel Gabriel, San Pedro, St. Paul and the Virgin Foretold.

curious third hand of St. Paul It is holding the sculpture itself San Pablo breaking physical laws and opening a debate on the hidden purpose of this symbol of the third hand. After this case we ask, Do we find new symbols of alchemy in the Door of Forgiveness?, ¿Will represent the third hand the struggle between the soul (volatile principle) and the body (fixed principle)?

It is not the first time in the Cathedral of Seville found strange symbols whose meanings are inexplicable, based on legends and beliefs in the occult and the mysterious. It is said that self Lorenzo Mercadante, architect of the Cathedral of Seville, He was related to hidden issues such as Freemasonry and alchemy. Reflecting on several reliefs of the Cathedral and at the door of San Miguel, also known as the gateway birth, elements and symbols questionable meaning.
