All sorts of folks-- normal sized ones in the center, pygmy sized ones on bottom and God with his bat angel entourage up above--gather about to see Jesus presented at the temple .

Could be, though, the crowd is not so interested in the actual presentation as in checking out Jesus' s freakishly lengthy midsection.
