The E initial for Epiphany shows Mary sitting on a stone throne. The newborn Baby Jesus can already stand and gently grabs his mother's chin.
The three wise men are shown as representatives of different generations:
A white-haired beard man kneels in the foreground; he has taken off his crown and is presenting a gold piece. The king represents middle age with a brown beard in the background; he turns to a beardless young man.
