On the central panel St John gives the dying Virgin a lighted candle. The apostles have come running from the four corners of the earth, encircle the deathbed and read prayers for the dead. Above this scene at the top right Christ receives his mother in heaven - a premonition of the ascension of the Virgin and a rare addition for Saxony.
