The vaulted ceiling of the narthex is very vividly painted. The dynamically moving center shows the hand of God surrounded by the four apocalyptic figures symbolizing the evangelists: angel, ox, lion and eagle. Against the background of the night sky, patterned curtains stretch across the cross ridges. On other surfaces other scenes from the New Testament and other scenes are painted.
