Merry Christmas! We are so thankful for the precious gift of the Christ Child.

God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Here's St Catherine, second from left in a Gerard David painting from around 1510 in London's National Gallery. The two figures to the right of the Virgin and Child are St Barbara and St Mary Magdalene. The man on the left is the donor.

The Christ Child is putting a ring on St Catherine's finger to represent their Mystic Marriage.

There's so much more to this picture, but I'll confine myself to saying I love it.

St. Dorothy/Dorothea of Caesarea

St. Dorothy is a 4th century virgin martyr who was executed at Caesarea Mazaca. She’s called a martyr of the late Diocletianic Persecution. Although her death happened after the resignation of Diocletian himself.

Dorothea & her companion, Theophilus, are mentioned in the Roman Martyrology as martyrs of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Her feast day is on February 6. She’s officially recognized as a virgin martyr.

She was removed from the General Roman Calendar by Pope Paul VI’s motu proprio Mysterii Paschalis, being judged as not having “universal significance.” Her feast day does still remain in some regional calendars & the Tridentine Calendar.

Her early life is unknown. The first record of her, Martyrologium Hieronymianum, only has 3 basic facts: her day of martyrdom, the place where it happened, & her name & Theophilus’ name.

Dorothea of Caesarea, virgin & martyr, was persecuted during the persecution of Diocletian on February 6, 311 at Caesarea in Cappadocia. She was brought before the prefect Sapricius, tried, tortured, & sentenced to death. On the way to the place of execution, the pagan lawyer, Theophilus said, mockingly, “Bride of Christ, send me some fruits from your bridegroom’s garden.”

Before she was executed, she sent him, by a 6 year old boy, her headdress which was found to be filled with a heavenly fragrance of roses & fruits. Theophilus at once confessed himself a Christian, was put on the rack, & suffered death. This is the oldest version of the legend.

In the Western church, Dorothy of Caesarea has been venerated since the 7th century. In the late medieval Sweden, St. Dorothy was considered to be the 15th of the Holy Helpers.

In art, she’s accompanied with Saints Barbara, Catherine, & Margaret. They form a quartet of female virgin martyrs called Quattuor Virgines Capitales, meaning, “The Four Capital Virgins.”

She’s the patroness of gardeners. Because of her virginal attribute of a wreath of roses. On her feast day (February 6), trees are blessed. She’s also the patroness of brewers, brides, florists, midwives, newlyweds, & the village of Pescia, Italy. The Sisters of St. Dorothy is a congregation of sisters/nuns, who are occupied with teaching.

St. Dorothy is often pictured as a virgin carrying a basket of flowers, sometimes with fruit, & also wearing a crown of roses. She has also been pictured as being surrounded by stars as she kneels before an executioner; crowned with palm, referring to the martyr’s palm; in an enclosed garden or an orchard with the Christ Child in an apple tree; leading the Christ Child by the hand; veiled with flowers in her lap; & holding apples from Heaven.

Today's Flickr photo with the most hits - this Baroque Christ-child in the Museum of Fine Arts, Seville.

By some curious oversight, the boy isn't circumcised.

Adoration of the Magi Filippino Lippi Uffizi Gallery Florence Italy

The Adoration of the Magi by Filippino Lippi, housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, is a luminous example of Renaissance artistry and narrative skill. Completed in 1496, this intricate and vibrant altarpiece showcases Lippi's mastery of composition, color, and emotion.

The painting depicts the biblical scene of the Magi presenting their gifts to the Christ Child, with the Virgin Mary and Joseph at the center. The Madonna, tender and serene, cradles the infant Jesus, while the richly attired Magi approach in adoration. Surrounding them is a bustling crowd of figures, including angels, attendants, and onlookers, creating a dynamic and vivid tableau. The varied expressions and postures of the figures demonstrate Lippi's attention to human emotion and individuality.

Set against a detailed and expansive landscape, the scene incorporates classical ruins and architectural details, symbolizing the passage from paganism to Christianity.

The Adoration of the Shepherds Guido Reni The National Gallery London England

Divine light illuminates the darkness as the shepherds kneel in adoration of the infant Christ. In the distance, on the moonlit hillside, is the tine scene of the angels telling the shepherds of the Savior's birth. Cherubs overhead carry a scroll with the joyful words Gloria in Excelsis Deo (Glory to God in the highest).

Even a casual visitor to the National Gallery cannot help but be struck by this lovely picture, Guido Reni’s Adoration of the Shepherds, especially at this time of year.

Guido has been out of fashion for a very long time. He was a native of Bologna, which, incidentally, has a large collection of his works, and did most of his work in the Papal States and Rome itself, as well as in Naples. As you would expect, his work is mainly religious, with a few excursions into mythology. His religious work has been dismissed as the typical Counter-Reformation production at the service of the Church, lacking the true creative spark.

Adoration of the Christ Child Gerard Van Honthorst The Uffizi Gallery Florence Italy

The Work: Adoration of the Christ Child
Gerard van Honthorst's Adoration of the Christ Child is a luminous masterpiece of Baroque art, showcasing the artist’s mastery of chiaroscuro—contrasts of light and dark. This painting captures a tender moment of worship and devotion, where the infant Christ is the radiant focal point, bathed in a divine glow. The Virgin Mary, Joseph, shepherds, and angels surround the Christ child, their expressions reflecting awe and reverence. Honthorst’s ability to convey emotion through warm light and intricate detail imbues the scene with an intimate, almost theatrical atmosphere. The painting’s spiritual depth and technical brilliance highlight Honthorst’s connection to the Utrecht Caravaggisti, who were heavily influenced by Caravaggio's dramatic lighting.

#Weird behaviour by Trumpists is being called out now.

Took a long while for the shock and anger to make space for "weird".

And I'm wondering if "weird" was being used in a similar way by artists of religious paintings in #Siena Italy between 1200 and 1500.

#SienaSchool #SieneseSchool #FineArt

What do you see in the painting below?
Fascial expressions?
Attitude of heads?
Mary's hands?
Morphology of the #ChristChild?
Age of head of the CC?
Support of the CC?
Gesturing of CC?

Oppressed?
Joyless?
Subservient? Mary pays attention to an old man's head on the body of a well fed baby.
The old man-baby is Hectoring? Lecturing? Mary.

Adoration of the Christ Child Gerard Van Honthorst

The Adoration of the Child shows a moonlit scene with Mary laying the Child in swaddling clothes. Joseph is looking over her shoulder and two angels are leaning over the crib. The moonlight is reflected off the faces in such a way that suggests the Child as a light source. The composition is reminiscent of much earlier versions, such as the 1490 Nativity at Night by Geertgen tot Sint Jans. The "Child as light source" aspect was used again and further exaggerated by Honthorst the next year when he painted the same subject, today held by the Wallraf-Richartz Museum.

Almost tucked away… a moment of gentle tenderness, grace, and beauty, amidst all the opulence at St John’s Co-Cathedral, Valletta, Malta.

We take this child for granted. But it’s bigger than that… we take God for granted. But it’s still bigger… we take our very existence for granted. How can we know God if we don’t know Christ? How can we know Christ if we don’t know ourselves? How can we know ourselves if we don’t take our existence, our created-ness, seriously?
