The lunette above, on the left, represents Zacharias standing •on the steps of the altar, waving a censer, with two luteplayers and a piper behind ; the angel appears to him under the portico of the altar. Two women are witnesses of the .miracle, to which...
Sayfa 59 - ... many competitors for the Virgin's hand that the High Priest ordered every unmarried man of the house of David to lay a dry rod on the altar, and declared that he whose rod should give forth buds should be the husband of Mary. Among the rivals was Joseph, an elderly man and a widower, who already had sons and grandsons. His rod alone budded, and as it did so a dove descended from heaven and lighted upon it.
