"I, John, saw an angel come down from heaven with the key of the Abyss in his hand and an enormous chain. He overpowered the dragon, that primeval serpent which is the devil and Satan, and chained him up for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and shut the entrance and sealed it over him, to make sure he would not deceive the nations again until the thousand years had passed. At the end of that time he must be released, but only for a short while.
Then I saw some thrones, and I saw those who are given the power to be judges take their seats on them. I saw the souls of all who had been beheaded for having witnessed for Jesus and for having preached God’s word, and those who refused to worship the beast or his statue and would not have the brand-mark on their foreheads or hands; they came to life, and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Then I saw a great white throne and the One who was sitting on it. In his presence, earth and sky vanished, leaving no trace. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing in front of his throne, while the book of life was opened, and other books opened which were the record of what they had done in their lives, by which the dead were judged.
The sea gave up all the dead who were in it; Death and Hades were emptied of the dead that were in them; and every one was judged according to the way in which he had lived. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the burning lake. This burning lake is the second death; and anybody whose name could not be found written in the book of life was thrown into the burning lake.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had disappeared now, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the holy city, and the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, as beautiful as a bride all dressed for her husband."
– Apocalypse 20:1-4,11-21:2, which is today's 1st reading at Mass.

This sculpture of the Last Judgement is from the 14th-century Tomb of Ines de Castro, in the monastery of Alcobaça in Portugal.

Lady Ines de Castro (1325-1355) is Portugal's most famous romantic, tragic figure. She was a noblewoman who fell in love with Pedro, Prince of Portugal, but their relationship was doomed because Pedro's father, King Afonso, was against the entanglement because of political reasons. In 1355, after Ines had born Pedro three illegitimate children, Afonso had her brutally killed. Pedro was distraught and unable to take revenge on his father, but after he succeeded him as King he proclaimed Ines queen posthumously, and forced the Portuguese court to pay homage to her exhumed body. He then reburied it in this exquisite tomb facing his own in Alcobaca monastery. (See also my other two photos: www.flickr.com/photos/alex-david/50664748787/in/album-721...

King Pedro (1320-1367) and Lady Ines de Castro (1325-1355) are Portugal's version of Romeo and Juliet, an ill-fated couple whose tragic love was cut short when Ines was murdered on the orders of Pedro's father because he saw her as a threat to the throne. In the end, however, Pedro had the last word on their love: he decreed that they be buried in opposing tombs in the royal monastery of Alcobaca, so that they would see each other again as soon as their bodies were raised at the Last Judgment. The tomb in the foreground is Pedro's. Ines' tomb can be seen at the other end of the monastery transept.

Tomb of Ines de Castro

In the transept of the church are located the tombs of King Pedro I and his mistress, Inês de Castro, who was assassinated in 1355, under the orders of King Pedro I's father. After becoming King, Pedro ordered the remains of his beloved to be transferred to her tomb in Alcobaça and, according to a popular legend, made her be crowned as Queen of Portugal and ordered court members to pay her homage by kissing her decomposing hand.

This pair of Royal tombs in Alcobaça, of unknown authorship, are among the best works of gothic sculpture in Portugal. The tombs are supported by lions, in the case of the King, and half-men half-beasts, in the case of Ines, and both carry the recumbent figures of the deceased assisted by a group of angels.

... Inés de Castro (port. Inês de Castro ‹inéš dℎë kàštru›). - Dama castigliana (m. Coimbra 1355), figlia naturale di Don Fernández de Castro, cugina di Costanza moglie del principe Pietro erede al trono portoghese (poi Pietro I). Divenne l'amante di Pietro, ma invisa al padre di questo, Alfonso IV, a causa della pericolosa influenza che la potente famiglia dei Castro poteva esercitare sull'erede, fu fatta uccidere dal re; l'uccisione provocò la rivolta, presto sedata, di Pietro. Alla morte del padre, col quale si era rappacificato, Pietro volle, secondo la tradizione, che fossero tributate esequie solenni all'infelice amata, incoronata regina. Divenuta materia di leggenda, comune alle letterature spagnola e portoghese, la vicenda di I. de C. fu trattata a più riprese dal Medioevo al 20º secolo. Presente nella Crónica del rey don Pedro di P. López de Ayala, nel romancero castigliano, nel canzoniere di G. de Resende, fu immortalata da L. Vaz de Camões (Os Lusíadas, canto III); ha avuto numerose versioni teatrali, tra le quali ricordiamo le tragedie Castro di A. Ferreira, Nise lastimosa e Nise laureada, che si ispirano alla precedente, di J. Bermúdez e la celebre Reinar después de morir di L. Vélez de Guevara.ww.treccani.it/enciclopedia/ines-de-castro/
