Image of the Nativity gilded 20X14cm Wooden

Image of the Nativity gilded 20X14cm Wooden. The Image is specially treated with varnish to have maximum resistance to time and damage. THE picture of the Nativity of Christ is based on the testimony of the Bible and its tradition as well as in the rich liturgical hymn of the celebration of Christmas.

The orthodox hagiographer of the icon of the Nativity, faithful to the dogmas of the church, has two purposes.

To show the theo-human nature of our Lord who was truly incarnated by the Virgin Mary and signify the celebration of heaven and earth and in general of all creation to its Creator.

According to what the Evangelist Luke narrates, the Virgin Mary she gave birth to her firstborn son, and she swaddled him and laid him in the manger.

The manger is depicted in a dark cave.

The black cave symbolizes the world that was darkened by sin. It also symbolizes Hades.

Thus, in order to approach the abyss, Christ secretly places His birth in the depths of the gap, where evil lives in its last density.

Christ, the Light of the world, is the one seated in darkness and shadow of death.

The manger, the cave, the infants are all examples of the emptying of the divinity and the extreme humiliation.

An ox and a stallion are depicted inside the cave.

The iconographer is inspired by Isaiah's prophecy I worship the one who is possessed and only the manger of this Lord. I am not Israel.

The Virgin Mary is the figure, where she is distinguished for her size and the central position she holds in the image.

The Virgin Mary is half-lying and half-seated and her posture is light to emphasize the absence of pain and the virgin birth of Christ. The birth was painless.
