The image contains four oval illustrations set against a plain background. In the top left illustration, an older man with a beard, wearing a halo and a long robe, is shown full-length, holding a staff in his right hand and leading a young boy with short hair, also with a halo, in his left hand. The landscape background features a small settlement to the left. The top right illustration depicts a bearded man in a long garment leading a child, each with haloes, next to a veiled woman, all shown in full-length, standing against a simple landscape. In the bottom left illustration, an older man with a halo, in a long robe and cloak, kneels with folded hands before a desk with open books and a crozier, and there's a raven on the window sill behind him. In the bottom right illustration, a veiled woman with a halo, clad in a long robe, leans down to tend to a seated individual with a hat, with a simple landscape featuring distant buildings in the background and a tree arching above. Each scene is labeled with text and a month of March date at the bottom.
