This sacred icon is crafted on hagiography canvas mounted on carved and aged solid wood, faithfully following the Athonite tradition.
At the heart of the composition lies the Nativity of Jesus Christ, inspired by the Holy Scriptures and the Sacred Tradition — the oral and written teachings passed down from the Apostles to their successors. The central image is based on the 16th-century icon of the Nativity from the Monastery of Patmos, known for its simplicity and narrative clarity.
The scene unfolds in a rocky landscape with a cave, where the newborn Christ lies swaddled, flanked by the ox and the donkey. Angels appear on both sides of the cave, while the Virgin Mary kneels in reverence — an uncommon yet powerful gesture in Orthodox iconography, typical of the Cretan School. Joseph is shown nearby, deep in thought, contemplating his sacred role.
Surrounding the central scene are vivid depictions from both the Old and New Testaments, including:
The Annunciation
The Hospitality of Abraham
The Wedding at Cana
The Flight into Egypt
The Good Samaritan
The Resurrection of Christ
“Touch Me Not” (Noli Me Tangere)
The Myrrh-bearing Women
Christ Healing the Man Born Blind
The Parable of the Publican and the Pharisee
The Healing of the Paralytic
This icon brings together key moments from the life and teachings of Christ, making it a profound addition to any sacred space or collection of religious art.
