Description

The Nativity of Christ, celebrated on December 25, is one of the great feasts of the Orthodox Church. This icon centers on the mystery of the Incarnation: Christ born in humility, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Its sacred imagery gathers the figures and events of the Gospel account, including the Theotokos, Saint Joseph, angels, shepherds, and the infant Jesus.

The original icon was painted by Kyriakos Kosova, a master iconographer whose work has been shaped by years spent in Albania, Greece, Italy, and the United States. Created in traditional egg tempera on a wooden board, the original provides the basis for this handcrafted reproduction.

Choose the standard mounted museum-quality paper presentation or upgrade to museum-quality matte canvas. Both options have rich, saturated coloration and a high-grade UV-protective sealant that adds a subtle tactile texture. The finished surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Each maple-shelled panel is prepared with a painted chamfered front edge and a rounded back edge, creating a shadow-box effect when displayed on the wall. A sliding keyhole slot on the back supports balanced hanging. Available in standard icon sizes, this Nativity icon offers a reverent focal point for a home or parish during Christmas and throughout the year.
