Nativity of Christ Framed Canvas Icon

This icon depicts the birth of Christ within a cave at Bethlehem, the Mother of God reclining nearby in repose, the infant Saviour laid in a manger, and shepherds and wise men drawing near to behold what the prophets had long foretold. The cave itself, dark and humble, stands as a deliberate contrast to the uncreated light that shines from the newborn Christ, the Word who took flesh not in a palace but in the lowest of places, that He might raise up all who are humble with Him. Angels are shown proclaiming the good tidings to shepherds keeping watch by night, while the star above guides distant kings to kneel before a child wrapped not in royal purple but in swaddling cloths. This feast, kept among the Twelve Great Feasts of the Church, lies at the very heart of the Christian confession, that God Himself became man so that man might be drawn up into the life of God. It is a fitting icon to bring into the home each winter, and a meaningful gift to mark a baptism, a name day, or the season of the Nativity itself.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11)

O Christ our God, who for our sake didst become a little child and wast laid in a humble manger, grant that we may receive Thee with the same wonder as the shepherds, and follow Thee with the same devotion as the wise men from the east. Amen.
