| Orthodox Icon of the Nativity |
Around the main scene of the Nativity organize other scenes.
Angels perform their double Department. Angels are facing up in praise, those who are looking down play their role of intercession with humanity announce good news to the shepherds, simple people, pure of heart, they can talk directly.
For Magi these masters of ancient science who, unlike the shepherds, it took a long search, a long intellectual journey, to reach God.
The shepherds and the Magi: Two ways of knowing. Two attitudes towards revelation. Two paths leading to the same goal but by different routes.
The heart of man becomes the cave where Christ was born inside.
