  • Summary

    Chapter 5 takes a step back and considers, individually and comprehensively, the eight Byzantine churches that housed Christ’s miracle cycles. Specifically, I examine how the overall iconographic program of each church impacted the inclusion of the miracle cycle. I ask who were the promulgators of this new iconographic program and what kind of audience we imagine viewing these scenes. By trying to answer these questions, this chapter defines the role played by the miracle cycle in the broader context of church decoration and patronage, leading to a claim of its distinctive status.
