Jesus Visits His Mother Decades After the Crucifixion
The artist has used color as the code cypher Jesus and his friends are young in the Garden, In the Dormition of the Virgin, they are older. The artist is saying that Jesus is visiting his mother when she is dying of old age, decades after escaping the crucifixion.
I looked again at a high res copy.(Please note these are only rough interpretations) In Dormition - The person holding the palm has no beard, so might be a woman, using traditional standards.
Also in the background is an older person with grey hair and angry face and a younger man. Maybe there was some kind of plot. Royals seem to have been targets of assassination and persecution for millennia longer than the Jewish peoples, ironically. The other two brothers are in the background on the other side, to the viewer’s right, by the bed, almost hidden, like historical records today.

Did you know that Islamic law prevents Muslim people from harming Christians? You can look it up. The videos of so-called Islamic extremists killing Christians by beheading are fake, created by corporations who have vested interest in war. 500 Years ago the profit Mohamed forbade Muslims to harm Christians. Also symbolically in Islam beheading is the death of a King or Queen, not a thief or heretic. Have you ever noticed the underlying Hollywood or corporate polish on the so-called extremist videos? Please have some faith in your fellow everyday human beings, parents with children, of every religion.
