The Christ Child knocks at the door of the believer's
Antonie Wierix
Lettering: Translation of lettering: Outside the door of the heart Jesus knocks, is silent, and listens for the voice of his little heart. Heart, rise up! throw back the bolt! think what needs to be done at the arrival of the little betrothed one! Ultro cordis portam pultat Iesus, silet et auscultat vocem sui corculi. Cor exsurge, vectem solue: Quid sit opus factu, volve in adventum sponsuli. Anton. Wierx fecit et excud.
