The Nativity of Christ icon depicts the birth of Jesus in a cave. The Mother of God laying on a bed. Her husband Joseph is standing next to her arms held in prayer while a female servant is bringing her food and drink on a tray. The newborn Christ is held by a midwife named Zelomi who is preparing to wash him. The star above in the left corner is shining at Jesus signifying the Divine will. This particular iconography is of late origin and is heavily influenced by the Western depictions showing cheerful and intimate aspect of the scene.
