Above the miracle of the bridge. The sheets describe the biblical episode of the ascension of Elijah, the first important prophet of Israel; for God's will, on the way of Gerico, he's abducted on a flamed carriage, pull by fire horses, his disciple and spiritual heir Elisha. It's the only sculpture on the facade with traces of polychromy.
