But all the patterns, especially in the roof arches, are a delight, especially those with green in them.

I like too the picture of Christ on a white ass in the right transept, with the children laying their cloaks in His way.

And the naive scene of Christ's temptation above it, and the quaint row of disciples beneath it, waiting to have their feet washed.
Of the more modern mosaics the "Annunciation" and "Adoration of the Magi" are among the most pleasing.
There are some curious and interesting early mosaics in the chapel of S.
Isidoro in the left transept.

It is always dark in this tiny recess, but bit by bit the incidents in the pictures are revealed.

They are very dramatic, and the principal scene of the saint's torture by being dragged over the ground by galloping horses is repeated in relief on the altar.
