Feast Your Eyes on Madonnas

Every Nativity is Like a Miracle


Nativity of Jesus in a Manger - Engraved by a 10 year old artist (see details)
Numerous outstanding artists left us unforgettable images of their notions of the beauty of Motherhood. This season we start celebrating by posting almost daily a series of famous depictions of Madonnas, illustrated in the icons below. 




VITannia (in Ukrainian)
(Greetings add Vivacity)

VITA Nuova
(New Life)



SALutations
(SALud is SALubridty thus Health)

SALudos

(Hail Health)

SALute SALve

(Health Saves)



CHRISTians during CHRISTmas MASS
are disMISSed with the MISSion to share their joy






CHRISTmas is entangled with preCHRISTian notions of joy ...  
Mithra - Saturn  - Chronos - Eon ...





Jove urged people to be Jovial - to Enjoy sharing Joy


"Naive" Ukrainian icons reflect traditional folklore attitude that Nativity represents happiness. Below are illustrations of smiling Madonnas and Trinity.

This Madonna is a classic example of Ukrainian folk art - she and the baby are smiling. This is an extraordinary perspective of Ukrainian folk artist denoting their loving attitude toward life. 
Natality per Madonnas or Mothers, Materializes Matter by delivering Life. Ancients recognized a universal "Mother Earth" that Greeks and Romans called Ceres, Demeter, Rhea, Cybele ... the past becomes resurgent as anglophones and hispanophones celebrate the Nativity of Christ as Navidad or Christ-mas during the day that once was the birthday of Mithra.

Human nature seeks the sublime, but it also harbors a sense of cynicism. While enduring "Christmas shopping", one cynic was overheard muttering ...

"Perhaps the hell of commercial exploitation of Christmas
can be ameliorated by viewing the beauty of Fine Arts".

(Please notice the panorama of Christmas past)
