Portal sculpture as catechism: thresholds that teach doctrine and guide entry at Saint‑Denis.

Thresholds instruct. Saints and allegories frame entry, preparing hearts and minds. Portals make doctrine public.
| Theme | Panel Type | Cue |
|---|---|---|
| Judgment | Tympanum | Central scene |
| Saints | Jamb figures | Flank entry |
| Allegory | Archivolt | Circling texts |

Entry is education before it is movement.

Amante de París y escritor de viajes, he creado esta guía para ayudar a conectar con Saint‑Denis — desde el nacimiento de la luz gótica hasta la presencia íntima de la memoria real.
