The picture shows folio 101v with a full-page miniature featuring St Oswald at Dinner.

Saint Oswald was an Anglo-Saxon king of Northumbria from 633 to 642 who introduced Celtic Christian missionaries to his kingdom and gained ascendancy over most of England. He was one of the patron saints of the Benediktinerabtei (Benedictine Abbey) Weingarten, where the Berthold Sacramentary was created.

Saint Oswald's feast day is August 5 (see August in the calendar).
