==Design==
===Angels===
The [[angels]] are glorifying God, tending to the action, and ministering: announcing the [[Gospel|Good News]] to the shepherds, or singing. To the right, a young shepherd sits, wearing a wreath and playing his flute, showing the joy of the Good News.  ==External links==*[http://goarch.org/special/advent/listen_learn_share/nativity/index_html Feast of the Nativity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: Icon of the Nativity] ([[GOARCH]])*[http://www.antiochian.org/icons-explained-nativity The Nativity Icon Explained] ([[AOCA]])*[http://iconreader.wordpress.com/2010/12/24/the-nativity-icon/ The Nativity Icon]
