Drawing on sources ranging from Latinate theology to vernacular texts and local customs, imagery in the panel concerns issues pertinent to both theologians and literate and illiterate lay citizenry. While its references to the Immaculate Conception and witty manipulation of a Latin inscription engaged only the learned, allusions to Arras's famous thaumaturgical relic, the Sainte Chandelle, reached a broader audience. Further, its staging of Mary's purification as a churching, the contemporary ritual following childbirth, held special appeal for Arras's female community.
