Christmas vision of Birgitta of Sweden
description: Sandstone altarpiece (retable): Christmas vision of Bridget of Sweden, circa 1400, in the Magdeburg Cathedral. The altarpiece was created at the initiative of a Magdeburg canon who simultaneously received a stipend (prebend/benefice) serving as a canon in Lund, Sweden. On the right, at the top, there is an addition that does not derive from Bridget’s vision: an oval figure (mandorla) with Christ and the Church pictured together as a crowned couple. On the right, at the bottom, the canon donor is pictured, to the left next to him Bridget seated at a teacher’s podium (cathedra), holding the book of her visions in her hands, then Bridget in her youth (or childhood) praying to the newborn Christ child.
