Christmas scene in a 15th century manuscript by e-codicesChristmas, also known as Nativity, refers to the accounts of the birth of Jesus mainly based on the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Traditionally, scenes of Nativity, portray the Holy Family in the stable at Bethlehem. The Christ child is represented lying in a manger or upon the straw, whilst Virgin Mary kneels in adoration before Him. In some scenes Virgin Mary is represented lying next to Jesus. Joseph is portrayed standing at one side. The scene also includes depictions of an ox and a donkey, usually in the background, gazing quietly at the scene in front of them. Some Nativity scenes depict one or more angels who proclaim Jesus as the savior for all people, and portrayals of shepherds who come to adore Him. There are also scenes representing the wise men (The Maggi ) who, after following a star, arrive to Bethlehem to bring gifts to Jesus.

Scene from “Labors of the month December” on Flickr.

DECEMBER Labors of the month December are generally associated with killing of animals for the winter. The scene usually shows one man who stands over a boar or an oxen with a hatchet. Being that every part of the animal was used, often the dead animal is shown as opposed to the killing, and the carving is the labor. Sometimes the scene shows draining of the animal blood in a bowl, usually done by a woman, whilst the man stands over it with sharpened knifes.
