Iconography & Symbolism
The Nativity of Christ Icon portrays the miraculous birth of the Savior, one of the Twelve Great Feasts of the Church year. Instead of a wooden barn, Jesus is born inside a dark jagged cave. This symbolizes a world darkened by sin and ignorance before Christ brought His light into it. Theotokos is the larger figure in the icon, showing her crucial role. The animals references an Old Testament prophecy, the Angels are the hosts of heaven, and the Wise Men represent the wealthy, highly educated corner of humanity seeking the truth.
Feast Day: December 25 (January 7 Old Calendar)

 -Christmas celebrations
