Byzantine Hand Painted Icon with the Nativity of Jesus Christ in a cave in Bethlehem.
In the icon we can see the Divine Infant wrapped in swaddling clothes in the center while around him there are various familiar figures of Christianity such as Panagia, Joseph, the Three Wise Men and Orders of Angels.
Nativity Icons tell the story of Christ’s birth, as found in the Scriptures and the Holy Tradition. Like most festal icons, the Nativity Ιcon is not only a mere historical record of Christ’s birth but also a reflection of the theological meaning of the feast. The mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God, who empty Himself of His almighty glory and accepted a human flesh for the salvation of the world, is the main focus of the feast.
Hand-Painted Icons occupy a valuable place in ecclesiastical art because, beyond their obvious artistic value, a hand-painted icon unites man with the holiness of the depicted person.
