Presentation in the Temple (fol. 93v)

Description

The Virgin Mary kneels in front of the altar. The High Priest, Simeon, is holding the Christ Child, who sits on the altar. Joseph stands in front of it holding a long candle and his staff. A handmaiden behind him carries three turtle doves in a basket, offered as sacrifice for the Purification of the Virgin, an event likely to have taken place at the same time. Context: Hours of the Virgin: None: Deus in adiutorium meum intende
