Jacob gains his father's blessing, mosaic from the Genesis cycle in the nave of Monreale Cathedral or the Duomo di Monreale, built 1172-89 under King William II in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. In this mosaic, Esau returns from hunting with a rabbit for stewing, but Rebecca brings Jacob a substitute stew to present to Isaac, who receives the blessing first, tricking Isaac with a piece of fur into thinking he is Esau. The cathedral interior is covered in Byzantine style glass mosaics made 12th and 13th centuries depicting biblical stories. The church is a national monument and forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
