The abacus above this capital depicts a deer hunt. In the Middle Ages, the deer was considered to be a symbol for Christ; this scene may therefore have a symbolic meaning. Jesus' entry into Jerusalem marks the beginning of Easter. With three disciples in his wake, Jesus rides through Jerusalem on a donkey. The townsfolk hail him with branches (hence the name "Palm Sunday") and spread out garments as garments as a sign of respect as he goes by. Fulfilling an Old Testament prophecy, this entry, both humble and triumphal, reveals Christ's divine kingship. After the Last Supper (with his disciples), Jesus withdraws to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray and meditate (on the other side). He is denounced by his disciple Judas who rushes to embrace him, thereby identifying him to the two soldiers who have come to arrest him.
