The host is stamped with the letter I. H. S (the monograph of the name of Jesus). The mass book (missal) is open to the words: Simili modo postquam cenatus est accipiens et hunc preclarum (In like manner, after he had supped, taking also this excellent. . . ). These are the words that begin the consecration of the wine; they follow the consecration of the Eucharist.
The scroll in the hands of Christ reads: Accipe [accipite] hoc de me hoc quotiescumque feceritis [impetrabis] the last word illegible (Receive this from me; however often you do this [you do it in remembrance of me]). This is the concluding line of the consecration of the bread and wine.
