From the "St. Albans Psalter", created at St. Abans Abbey essentially by Geoffrey de Gorham (or Gorron), Abbot of St. Albans (1119-46). Psalms 114:3: Two priests carry the ark of the covenant through the River Jordan whose waters have divided to let them pass. The tribes of Israel pick up stones to build a memorial of this miraculous passage.
