The Birth of the Lord (December 25)

The Birth of the Lord (December 25)

   This so glorious and glorious feast shows the greatness of the humility of the Lord and not only. If we pay a little attention to the image, the believer will discern how many meanings it conveys to us.

  Christ "wrapped" in a place that rather looks like a tomb prepares us for His burial and glorious Resurrection.

The Virgin kneeling with her arms crossed shows us that the baby is the Son of God.

Joseph's attitude refers us to the verse: After all, the strange old man standing in front of him pretending to be "sly" wants to say with his wand that as much as this dry branch can grow, so a virgin can give birth. And yet the rod (like Aaron's rod) sprouted.

The admiration and joy of the angels for the great event, together with the star-shaped star, fill the image with greatness.

From the simplest people, the shepherds, to the wise as the magicians rush to the Divine Infant the savior of the world who accepts every human being and of any age. This is shown to the magicians that one is young, the other mature and the old man who will believe that the infant "lying in the manger" is the Incarnate God.
