The parable of the ten virgins

The only source of this parable is Matthew’s Gospel. A panel door divides the scene into two halves. On the left there are the fi ve silly virgins: they are dressed in colourful dresses and, holding unlit torches, walk following the fi rst, who is dressed in black and who knocks on a closed door. In the right scene the fi ve wise virgins can be recognized.
They are dressed in white and hold in their hand a lit torch.
