And talk about a story. Who knew on these three top capital you could have so many scenes/stories. And on this one, altho you can't see from this angle: "Mary, as usual, is depicted with her upturned palms turned outward, a sign of obedience." - I didn't know that was how Mary was seen.
The cycle begins with the scene of the Annunciation , in which we see the Archangel Gabriel carrying a staff topped with a cross, kneeling before Mary, who receives the supernatural announcement and, in admiration, raises her hands in a sign of acceptance of the divine will. This scene is followed by the figure of a woman, Mary herself, meditating on this mystery.
Next, the Visitation of the Virgin to her cousin Saint Elizabeth is represented, both embrace and Elizabeth places her hand on Mary's belly to highlight her state of grace.
In the central part of the triple capital is the culminating moment of the cycle, that of the Birth of the Saviour, developed with numerous anecdotal details. In the lower part is the Virgin lying in her bed, above is the manger with the Child Jesus, protected by the donkey and the ox. Three oil lamps hang from a panel in the ceiling, the Star of Bethlehem crowns the Nativity. On the left, the Dream of Joseph completes the scene , in a disposition foreign to that represented, appears Saint Joseph, to whom in a dream an angel reveals the divine nature of Mary's state.
The cycle ends with the Annunciation to the Shepherds , a scene simplified due to space limitations and represented by a single shepherd who listens to the “Good News” that the angel communicates to him. It is worth mentioning the curious phenomenon that occurs on this capital; every year, on both equinoxes at 5 pm solar time. The phenomenon of light is specially designed so that on March 24, at the hour of the eve of the feast of the Annunciation, the light illuminates the scene of the angel's annunciation to Mary and then the entire mystery of the incarnation of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
