Lazzaro's Resurrection

The illumination represents Jesus Christ, blessing with his right hand while pronouncing the order: Lazarus, get up and walk!. Behind Jesus the group of the apostles can be seen, while in front of him there are Mary, Martha, with their backs to the sepulcher, still unaware of the resurrection of their brother Lazarus. Two young boys, portrayed between the two women and the cave, express the two sisters suffering and their immediate astonishment. To the side of the resurrected man, a young boy appears. He is covered to his nose with a pink gown, and he seems to lead Lazarus, wrapped in the bands of a white sheet, out of the sepulcher.
In the illumination two scenes of the miracle are depicted: that in which Jesus is prayed for Lazarus’s healing and that in which the miracle is performed.
