The Assumption of the Virgin by Bernardo Daddi

Yon followers of Jesus look for the blessed Mother,                                                               Yet she is nowhere to be found.                                                                                          Has thou died?

Nay, the Almighty has taketh thee to the heavens.                                                           Whole body and soul ascended to the sky,                                                                             While sitting in a chair being carried by the angels.

The bright sun shines behind her,                                                                                     Illuminating her divine presence.                                                                                           As the blessed Virgin gazes adoun at her people,                                                                  Her face stoic, a stick in hand,                                                                                              Ready to serve as the mother of mankind.
