This masterfully crafted Byzantine icon depicts The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, one of the most profound mysteries of the Christian faith. Painted by hand in the traditional Orthodox style, with rich colors and gold leaf detailing on canvas, the icon is mounted on hand-carved asymmetrical wood, evoking both reverence and timeless beauty.
At the heart of the scene is the newborn Christ Child, lying in a manger and surrounded by the Theotokos (Virgin Mary), Saint Joseph, angels, and the humble animals of the cave. The star of Bethlehem shines above, guiding the Magi, while the shepherds receive the good news from the angelic host. Each element reflects deep theological meaning, emphasizing both the divine and human nature of Christ and the humility of His incarnation.
Celebrated on December 25th, the Nativity marks the moment when heaven and earth were united through the birth of the Savior.
A radiant and spiritually uplifting icon, ideal for Christmas displays, personal devotion, or as a meaningful gift during the holy season.
