Thank you for posting this. I had taken art history classes so thought I knew everything about Christian symbolism, but Dr. Broughton brought up stuff I had never knew. Medieval churches were the "Bible" of an illiterate society so everything would have some symbolic meaning to teach the congregation. So it is not at all silly to read some meaning into every detail. Dr. Broughton certainly knows her stuff. I would love to walk through any cathedral with her as a guide.
