Nativity - shows the Christchild in a manger with Mary and Joseph. As the Virgin Mother, Mary wears a dress of red, traditional for mothers, and a robe of blue, traditional for virgins. The angels, with the star of Bethlehem, and the shepherds are in adoration. At the foot of the Christchild is a sacrificial lamb with its feet bound, as a presentiment of Christ as the “Lamb of God,” who would be sacrificed for the sins of mankind.
