EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative frontispiece image captures the timeless and sacred story of the journey to Bethlehem, as told in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. Mary and Joseph, both with serene expressions, make their way to the holy city for the Roman census, with Mary gracefully seated atop a donkey while her husband, Joseph, leads the way. Above them, a brilliant star shines, illuminating their path and guiding them to the stable where the infant Jesus would be born. Surrounding the couple are symbols of the humble nativity scene: a cow and a sheep, with other cattle and farm tools nearby, reflecting Joseph's occupation as a carpenter. Mary's halo, a symbol of her divine motherhood, adds to the holy and reverent atmosphere. This historical image, reminiscent of Pauline Baynes' illustrative style, beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Christmas story and the deep-rooted belief in the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity.
