Lady Herrad of Landsberg [1125-1195] draws the evangelical “Garden of delicacies”, which summarizes the benefits of Christ’s crucifixion.  Rochus Leonhardt uses this as an illustration in his “Grundinformation Dogmatik” 3.Edition V&R UTB 2008. Pg. 288.

The first Adam is visible in the open grave – opposite to the 2nd Adam om the Cross [1.Cor.15,45ff; Rom.5,12-20; 1.Cor.15.21f]. The Church depicted as crowned women riding the 4-gospel headed animal with 4 different feet [Mt = Angel, Mc = Lion, Lk = Ox and John = Eagle] catches the saving flood from the saviors side in the chalice. She holds the processional cross in victory.

Opposite the Church is the blind-folded synagogue on the back of a donkey. She has an animal for sacrifice, knives for circumcision and also the tablets of the law with the lowered javelin.

Other representatives of the Church are the confessor under the cross [Roman centurion Mk.15,39], but also one of the unbelievers handing the vinegar to Christ [Mk.15,34ff; Mt.27,46ff]. There are also Mary on the left and Joseph on the right.

The curtain in the temple on the top torn in two, while the graves of the saints open at the bottom of the picture.
