The work represents a miracle that occurred while saint gregory the great was celebrating mass in the basilica of the holy cross in jerusalem, since one of the acolytes doubted the presence of christ in the eucharist and at the same moment, christ descended on the altar, naked, crowned with thorns, showing his wounds, supported by two angels and surrounded by the attributes of the passion.
