Reference: The Adoration of the Magi (Mt. 2, 1-12) is a widespread theme, but is rarely associated in sculpture with the Announcement to the Shepherds. (Luke 2, 8-20). There is a liturgical justificaiton for this association: Epiphany. The Announcement to the Shepherds and the Adoration of the Magi are mentioned at the same time on Epiphany (cf. Bréviaire, Ier Nocturne, 4e et 5e leçons). The Virgin and Child are placed between the shepherds and the Magi. Dates to 12th century.
