The Hours of the Passion conclude with the Resurrection, a subject rarely included in such cycles since the event is not part of Christ's Passion. Typical of
his love of intricacy, the Master of Catherine of Cleves has Christ step out of his tomb backwards and arranges the four soldiers in complicated positions, none of which look conducive to sleep. In the bottom border, a boy blows a horn, an allusion to the sound of the trumpets that will herald Christ's Second Coming at the Last Judgment.
