San Mois

The Chiesa di San Mois (or San Mois Profeta) in Venice is dedicated to Moses (like the Byzantines, the Venetians tended to canonise Old Testament prophets). It also honours Mois Venier, who paid for it to be rebuilt in the 9th century. The elaborate Baroque facade is covered in carvings and was created by Heinrich Meyring in 1668. The interior is dominated by Meyring's huge altarpiece - Mount Sinai with Moses receiving the Tablets. John Law, originator of the Mississippi Scheme, is buried in the church. San Mois is the parish church of one of the parishes in the Vicariate of San Marco-Castello. The other churches within the parish are Santa Maria Zobenigo, San Fantin, Santa Croce degli Armeni and the Basilica of San Marco itself.
