7 - The Lectern

The Lectern, like the pulpit, is of carved oak. At the bottom are four Old Testament figures, Moses with the law, Elijah, Job, and (mostly hidden) Elijah. The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, are at the upper level. St. John is shown without a beard, and it is interesting to note that he has the same face here as the figure of St. John in the Great Reredos. This is true with all the saints throughout the church.
