The western facade of Bourges cathedral contains four portals, one for each aisle and a central entrance to the nave. The portal to the right of the main central entrance is dedicated to St Stephen and shows scenes of his life and martyrdom. In this scene he is being made a deacon of the early church by two of the Apostles.
