"Ecumenical"

I can't see that going anywhere.

I do find the 14th century Agnolo Gaddi image very interesting.

Neither do I, but I did not want to deal with the generic aversion to iconography that has nothing to do with the subject on hand.

Interesting that they did not show his Triumph of the Cross:



The Triumph of the Cross

Agnolo Gaddi

1380s
Fresco
Santa Croce, Florence

The Gothic apse of the Santa Croce was decorated by frescoes in the 1380s. On the two side walls the story of the Saint Cross is depicted, the Triumph of the Cross being the final and most significant scene of the cycle. There are three scenes depicted beside and above each other. On the left side the beheading of Chosroes, King of Persia, for the occupation of Jerusalem and robbing the Cross; behind and above Heraclios arriving to Jerusalem with the regained Cross; on the right side Heraclios bringing the Cross barefooted into Jerusalem.
