Contemplating the expansiveness of Christ’s creation and glory, this painting depicts a mother, who symbolizes Eve (there is an apple beside her and a fig leaf on her dress), telling her children the stories of Jesus. Christ is depicted as ascendant and triumphant, the Creator of all things, and the young children who are praying symbolize the closeness of heaven and mirror the devotion of the disciples whose images play over their pajamas.
