Notes

• Raising of Lazarus
   
• This image from a Gospel lectionary depicts the moment when Lazarus rose from his tomb while his sisters, the Virgin Mary (who supports him), and a crowd of onlookers watch. The scroll held by Christ reads, 'Lazare veni foras ...' (Lazarus come forth), which according to John 11:43 were the words Christ spoke at Lazarus's tomb in order to raise him.
   
• The Three Maries at the Tomb
   
• This image from a Gospel lectionary depicts the three Maries who traveled to Christ's tomb in order to anoint his body but, upon their arrival, found the tomb empty. An angel, who sits on the lid of the sepulcher, informs them of the Resurrection. The snail in the lower right-hand corner of the miniature signifies Christ's Resurrection and relates to the empty tomb above because a snail only inhabits its shell temporally, just as Christ was only in his tomb for a short time.
