Nativity touches heart, soul

In the course of two millenia, countless millions of people have lived their lives in accordance with the teachings of Christ. To all of them, the story of the birth of Christ is of great significance. It is at once the history of the Mother and Child whose lives are at the heart of Christianity, and the moving tale of a mother and her infant. The story of the Nativity is both glorious and tender, infinitely complex and profoundly simple, universal in significance and deeply personal in tenor. With a meaning that is truly for all time because it transcends it, the Christmas story is as integral a part of thought and belief in the 20th century, as it was in the third or thirteenth. Perhaps no other occurrence has touched so many lives in so many ways, fulfilling vastly different needs while remaining itself untouched. The mystic bent of the medieval mind, for instance, envisioned the Christ child as a miniature adult, crowned with a golden halo. Perched rather stiffly on the Madonna’s lap. He sits enthroned and surrounded by an honor guard of angels and saints. Even in infancy, the painters of the Middle Ages seem to say, Christ was already the man who would die upon the Cross for our sins. The paintings of Madonna and Child which date from the Middle Ages are intensely devout celebrations of the glory of God and Christ, His Son. In contrast, the paintings of the Italian Renaissance, when the Sales increase NEW YORK - Music lovers are increasingly buying more cassettes of their favorite artist than LPs, according to a new record industry survey.

philosophy of Humanism was current, depict the Madonna and Child as a very real mother and i son. As painted by Leonardo da i Vinci, Masaccio, Botticelli. Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi, for for example, the infant Christ ■ is truly a child, pudgy and squirI ming on His loving mother’s I knee. The setting is realistic —a i landscape or light-bathed interior — rather than a stiff throne floating on a golden background. I The saints and angels of Renaissance art are as likely to be teasing the infant Christ as solemnly adoring Him. The playfulness of the artist’s conception in no way dims the glory of God and Christ, but rather enhances it, emphasizing love rather than awe At the same time, the Italian Renaissance conception of Christ was a glorious one. Paintings such as Gentile da Fabriano's Adoration, with its air of regal courtliness, illustrate that, to the Renaissance mind, Christ was a king as well as a child and a man. The Flemish painters of the 15th century see the Nativity from a different perspective The emphasis is on the personal in such paintings as Hugo van der ( Goes’ Portinari Altarpiece (whose central panel depicts the Adoration) and Geertgen tot Sint , Jans’ Nativity. The homely virtues the 1 Flemish admired are presented in the many true-to-life details, as , well as in the attitude of the > Madonna watching over her Babe, the epitome of loving motherhood. Mystic, regal, touching, aweinspiring, loving. That the Nativity can be so many things at once, is in some way a measure of its immeasurable significance. That it has meant so many things to so many people indicates its infinite power to reach disparate lives, in centuries and continents far removed from one another, touching both heart and soul. As the eternal leaves its indelible mark upon the temporal, it repeats the lesson of its ultimate, essential universality.
