Crucifixion

As usual, Mary and the disciple John stand in mourning. This illumination is full of narration; the centurion Longinus holds a scroll with his words upon it: vere Dei Filius erat iste ⌠truly this was the Son of God.■ Another figure pierces Christ, and the flowing blood prefigures the Eucharist. Both the sun and moon appear because, according to tradition, an eclipse occurred at the Crucifixion.
