Description
“And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory…”(John 1:17, Orthodox Study Bible). Thus, John recorded the birth of the Creator of the Universe and the Savior of our souls. Each of the Gospel writers, apostles, saints, and martyrs would go forth with this message and the glory of Christ’s birth and ministry burning as a fire in their hearts.
This beautiful and touching icon depicts the holy mother of God—the Theotokos-- cradling and kissing her Son, the Lord Jesus, as He lies in the manger. This depiction is based on the "Sweet Kissing" (Glykofiloussa) genre of icons of Christ and His Mother. The ox and donkey represent the Jews and the Gentiles.
The fine details throughout the icon—the shining stars, the detail on the garments, the sweet softness of the faces—make this a loving and tranquil image illustrating the very essence of the Christmas season.
Christ is Born! Glorify Him!
