After the abbey had been abolished by the French Revolutionary Regime it was shipped on the Scheldt to its present destination. The colossus only fitted tightly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Its origins are shown from depictions of the two founders of the Cistercian order: on the right Saint Robert of Molesmes with a church model, on the left Saint Bernard of Clairvaux \u2013 the spiritual driving force of the order, with \u2026 a beehive. His popular sermons added to his nickname \u2018the honeytongued teacher\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We witness a genuine theatre performance: filled with awe life-size figures express their astonishment at the assumption of Mary, who is in the centre of the halo of God\u2019s glory. In Summer this altar is playfully lit until dusk, bringing each figure spectacularly to life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The marble reliefs depict the Eucharist: on the central panel a historical reference to the Last Supper, with a sumptuous 17th century table setting; at the sides adoring putti and angels joyously carry wine, grapes, and ears of corn for the sacred meal. Do you see the two angels providing the liturgical instruments for the hand-washing and incensing?<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
