Document source description
An array of emblematic symbols and inscriptions–many related to garden metaphors derived from the biblical Song of Songs–unfolds around the devotional image of the Virgin Mary, who appears opposite the calendar page of December. The closed garden and variety of plants (cedar, rose, olive, and lily) have become associated with Mary and the mystery of the virgin birth.
