Gospel
Gospel is any of four biblical narratives covering the life and death of Jesus. Written, according to tradition, respectively by St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, and St. John (the four evangelists), they are placed at the beginning of the New Testament and make up about half the total text. The word gospel is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term god-spell, meaning “good story,” a rendering of the Latin evangelium and the Greek euangelion, meaning “good news” or “good telling.” The traditions of Jesus’ earthly ministry and Passion were remembered and then written in the Gospel accounts. They were written from the post-Resurrection perspective and contain an extensive and common Passion narrative as they deal with the earthly ministry of Jesus from hindsight.

forest of Biere
It's also called "The forest of Fontainebleau", the forest is a mixed deciduous forest lying sixty kilometres (37 mi) southeast of Paris, France. Forty thousand years ago, nomadic populations settled around the forest. Various traces of their presence have been discovered :carved stone tools, bones of such animals as bears, elephants, rhinos, giant stags. More than 2,000 caves with rock carvings are scattered across the forest. Around the year 1000, the human occupation of the forest consisted of a series of enclaves controlled by petty lords and wealthy landowners.The Forest of Fontainebleau is famous worldwide for having inspired 19th-century artists, including painters of the Barbizon School and the Impressionists. The Barbizon painters, led by Théodore Rousseau, militated against the planting of softwoods which had been carried out at a pace of several hundred hectares per year since 1830.
