The four Hildegurls as an anonymous group of novice Virtues
respond to the first in a series of calls to reaffirm their commitment to
virtuous life by a disembodied Humility, Queen of the Virtues, who sings to
them: "Venite ad me, Virtutes, (Come to me, ye Virtues)!" Photo

Led by their queen Humility, the Virtues Charity, Fear of God, Obedience,
Faith, Hope, Chastity, Innocence, Modesty, Mercy, Patience and Victory introduce
themselves individually in a ring of song and light. A chorus of assembled Virtues
welcomes and praises each in turn. The Soul is off with the Devil who still
taunts their collective piety.
