This is a woodcut print with a dramatic and symbolic scene. At the center is a large, ornate cross, radiating beams of light. Above the cross is a sun with a human face, also emitting rays. The sky is filled with swirling clouds and celestial bodies. Below the cross, a figure in a red robe stands with arms outstretched, seemingly witnessing the event. In the background, a town or city is depicted with various buildings, including towers and houses. The style is characteristic of early modern prints, with bold lines and a focus on symbolic representation. The image is surrounded by dense text in an old German script, likely explaining the scene or its religious significance.
