There's another option regarding omission of christian imagery: if the Voynich was meant to be a portable book  used by a traveller (a hypothesis compatible with size and foldouts), it may have been made for travel to lands where christianity was not the dominant religion, and therefore the creators may have thought it best to keep the illustrations free of explicit religious references.
I don't think this is likely, but it is an option.
