Hours of the Cross
Typically these hours are prefaced by a miniature of the Crucifixion. In the Frick Hours this scene is surrounded by 5 episodes from Christ's Passion in the borders. Counter-clockwise from the top left they are the betrayal by Judas, Christ appearing before Pilate, the flagellation of Christ, Christ carrying the cross, and the fight for the robe of Christ.
