A normal quarter.

The Circumcision.
MANTEGNA, Andrea. 
1460-64. Tempera on wood.
Galleria degli Uffizi, Florence.
How could Christ redeem those from the Law of Moses? Only because he himself was under the Law. Circumcision. Yes, Christ knew even this as a child. For he was fully human yet without sin, and it was that to save mankind he must pass through man's world in order to, as Matthew says, "fulfill all righteousness."
