Есть такой сюжет в Золотой Легенде. Будучи в Риме св. Доминик однажды увидел ночью в воздухе Христа, потрясающего тремя копьями в руке с намерением уничтожить погрязшего в пороках человека (как в дни Ноя), копья по числу пороков - гордыни, алчности и похоти (или роскоши). Богородица заступилась за мир и указала на святых Доминика и Франциска, которые помогут победить мировые пороки. Христос полуобнажённый с молниями в руке напоминает Юпитера. Змей - символ греха, возможно с намёком на грехопадение Адама и Евы. Не отразилось ли в этом сюжете монгольское или османское завоевание?

Then the Blessed Virgin fell down at his feet and said: Dear son, have pity, and tarry thy justice by thy mercy. And Jesu Christ said to her: Seest thou not how many wrongs and injuries they do to me? And she answered: Son, attemper thy wrath and tarry a little, I have a true servant and a noble fighter against the vices, which shall run over all and vanquish the world, and subdue them under thy signory, and I shall give to them another servant into his help that shall fight as he doth. And our Lord, her son, said: I am appeased and receive thy prayer, but I would see whom thou wouldst send in so great an office. And then she presented to him Saint Dominic, and Jesu Christ said: Truly this is a good and noble fighter, and shall do diligently that thou hast said. And then she showed to him and offered to him Saint Francis, and he praised him as he did the first...
