These two fragments reveal the dramatic scene of the Nativity. One fragment captures Joseph kneeling humbly, while another shows two shepherds standing alongside a loyal dog. The story of Jesus' birth has been a central theme in Christian art for centuries, dating back to the 4th century. Artists have based their depictions on the biblical accounts found in Matthew and Luke's Gospels, as well as the rich tradition of written, oral, and visual storytelling surrounding this sacred event celebrated every Christmas.
