Features: Before the birth of Jesus, people received revelations of the Lord's coming. Guided by the Star of Bethlehem or informed by angels, they came to the manger to pay homage to the Holy Infant and the Virgin Mary. The birth of Jesus is one of the most significant events in the Christian world. He was born when the human world was in decline, foretelling that the chaotic world would be saved. The 60 icon paintings selected for this book, all themed "Christmas," are depicted by Western artistic masters with their deepest passion and devout hearts. They portray the birth of the Holy Infant, a scene where heaven and earth join in celebration. After viewing these works, they not only bring spiritual awe but also provide a nurturing of artistic beauty.
