Christ appears to the disciples

The scene in the Upper Room, in which Christ appears to the disciples, though they aren't depicted in this Flemish roundel exactly as they are described in the New Testament. Interestingly a woman is among their number, reflecting the true situation in the early church, when women were, indeed, heavily involved as disciples.

 

William Cole dates this to the middle of the 16th century. St Peter's church, Nowton.
