The Marriage of the Lamb; Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, about 1255-1260. Additional Info:The marriage of the Lamb in the Apocalypse is usually interpreted as a celebration of the perfect union between Christ the Lamb and the Church his bride. This artist represented the scene as a medieval marriage ceremony with the bride depicted as a beautiful young woman. The illuminator took some details directly from the text, such as the bride's clothing, "glittering and white," but he also added details not mentioned, such as the white cloth over the couple's heads and the large ring that the Lamb gives to his bride.
