The iconography of this initial suggests that it begins a chant for the feast of the Epiphany (Jan. 6), which in the Western Christianity celebrates the arrival of the Magi in Bethlehem to see the newborn Christ. The common Introit for Mass of that feast is, Ecce advenit dominator Dominus ... (See he comes, our Lord and Ruler). Lewis E M 43:20 and 25 are from the same manuscript.
