Description: The second stage of Mosaic in the implementation of this temple icons births of Jesus Christ on the left wall of the sanctuary.The second largest celebration in its content had to close the sanctuary area. The icon appearing at the forefront of three major moments. The first is that the central figure of this scene is Mary. She sacrificed to God through the Incarnation could come down to earth. This incarnation is the total contrast Babylon tower, hopeless efforts of humanity to reach heaven itself.In the Garden of Eden Eve was offered the opportunity to become a false God, while the new Eva was offered to God was the right man. Mothers face nežiari looks as if we waited, but it is shrouded in sadness. The reason for this is the second mourning the fact that her newborn baby lying in a cave resembling a tomb, the tomb of nursery baby clothes and a canvas in which they were buried. Jesus Christ was born, therefore, that in turn died. The tragedy was Eve give birth to death without a choice.Also Mary his Son, born of death, but he can elect her. Why? The answer is the opposite side of the sanctuary where the icon of the Resurrection.
The third moment of this icon is the figure of St.. Joseph. Not by chance is at its lowest level in this composition. What's more, in a seated position and thought it a perfect picture of a man many of us. Continuous shade, though fair, but still skeptical. Similarly, we can not understand God nor the size nor the power of God, nor the size of a man.
Even the star, who went to Bethlehem the cave is the proof that Christ was born - Lord of the universe. So far, everyone kidded by a star, now a born man who moved the star. The entire universe obey him. Although pain is felt in the icon, however winning hope. There is the first announcement of the Eucharist, Pasch. Lady One shows a hand toward the altar, the place where the breaking of bread, and anyone who will eat it, not die but will live forever.
