This icon is a reproduction of an original piece of artwork by "K.Mucha". It represents the biblical scene of the Nativity of Jesus in Bethlehem. In the fourth century, December 25 was adopted by the Western Christian Church as the date of the Feast of Christ's birth. It is believed that this change in date gave rise to the tradition of the "12 Days of Christmas." While the Western Christian Church celebrates December 25th, the Eastern Christian Church to this day recognizes January 6 as the celebration of the nativity.
