Carries Crook Halo Lamb Nativity Testament Tools Virgin
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print depicts the classical Nativity scene as described in the Bible's New Testament. At the center, the Virgin Mary cradles the newborn infant Jesus, her halo radiating divine light. To her right, Joseph, the carpenter, tenderly looks on as he holds his carpenter's tools. A lamb, a symbol of purity and innocence, lies nearby, its crook reaching out towards the Christ Child. The Nativity scene is a beloved composition in Christian art and religion, retelling the story of the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. The historical significance of this event has been celebrated for centuries, with the first Nativity scenes appearing in Europe during the late Middle Ages. The use of halo around Mary and Jesus' heads is a common artistic representation of their divine nature. The inclusion of Joseph and his carpenter's tools underscores his role as a protective and nurturing father figure, as well as a reminder of his occupation as a carpenter, a humble and hardworking trade. The presence of the lamb in this Nativity scene symbolizes the innocence and purity of the newborn King, as well as the prophecy in the Old Testament that a lamb would be sacrificed to take away the sins of the world. This beautiful print invites us to reflect on the profound significance of the Nativity story, and the enduring impact it has had on art, history, and the world's major religions.
