This serene depiction captures the moment of St. Mary of Egypt's demise, as its title aptly conveys. A woman once consumed by unrelenting passion, she lived a life marked by sinful excess. Yet, she finally came to terms with her own impurity, realizing it barred her from entering the church and living a respectable life. After seeking forgiveness from the Virgin Mary, she crossed the Jordan River and spent the remainder of her days as a desert hermit.
