Jesus to the Cavalry is the bottom level. The top level is the Crucifixion.

Jesus sitting up there represents the ascension. The towers on this side are also dedicated to Apostles: James, Thomas, Philip, and Bartholomew.

The Passion Facade
This facade is carved with harsh straight lines to resemble the bones of a skeleton. Construction began in 1954 and towers were completed in 1976, and in 1987. The harsh, rigid, shadows and forms are intended to show the severity and brutality of Christ's sacrifice.

The Passion Façade
This side is very harsh and angular. It depicts Jesus' last night before the crucifixion, the crucifixion and the ascension. You can see part of it to the right was under construction.
