The Nativity of Jesus Christ Handmade Orthodox Wooden Icon 14x21cm

The Orthodox Christian Church celebrates the Nativity of the Lord Jesus Christ by the Blessed Virgin Mary on December 25 of each year. Joseph and the pregnant Mary set out for Bethlehem to be counted, following an order issued by Caesar Augustus for a census of the population of the Roman state. When they arrived in Bethlehem, they could not find a place to rest, except for a poor cave. There the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ and put him in the manger of the horses. Since then, all pious Christians have sung the following hymn: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace".

Saint John Chrysostom, in 397 AD, introduced the celebration of Christmas for the first time.
