Nativity Icon

Nativity Icon – the mystery of the Incarnation revealed to the world

The Nativity icon depicting the Adoration of the Magi presents one of the most profound mysteries of Christian faith – the birth of Jesus Christ and His revelation to all nations. At the center stands the Virgin Mary holding the Child, already shown as King and Savior. Saint Joseph, the Magi and angels complete a rich theological narrative of the Incarnation.

The star of Bethlehem shining in the night sky symbolizes divine guidance and the light of truth leading humanity to Christ. The deep blue background emphasizes the heavenly dimension, while gold elements signify God’s presence in human history.

The Adoration of the Magi – salvation for all nations

The three Magi represent different peoples and cultures, offering gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Each gift carries theological meaning: gold for kingship, incense for divinity and myrrh foretelling sacrifice. The icon proclaims Christ as Savior of the whole world.

Their act of worship invites the viewer into personal contemplation and faith-filled response.
