The Portal from the Church of San Leonardo al Frigido (1175) had a lintel that referenced the moment when Jesus entered Jerusalem in a donkey. This event usually serves as a reference to how humble Jesus was, and how despite being the son of God he still was able to humble himself down to the point where entering a city with a pathetic animal wouldn’t phase him.
