Byzantine Door
Its fifty-four panels enclosed in an elegant bronze frame, illustrate scenes and characters of the Bible. It was one of the last wishes of Pope John XXIII that the old main door be taken out of the museum and restored, and since 1967 it is used to close the inside of the Holy Door between Jubilee Years.
