Description
The Star shines over the manger, birthplace of Jesus, calling shepherds to come and adore. Detail of one of several frescoes in the grotto in the tent-shaped Chapel of Angels at the Shepherds' Field, Bethlehem.
The Shepherds' Field Chapel is a Roman Catholic religious building in the area of Beit Sahur, southeast of Bethlehem in the West Bank in Palestine. The chapel marks the place where, according to Catholic tradition, angels first announced the birth of Christ (Wikipedia excerpt). Chapel of the Angels was designed by Italian architect Antonio Barluzzi. The chapel adjoins the remains of a 4th-century church and a later agricultural monastery. Other frescoes in the chapel depict the Holy Family in the manger, angel announcing the birth of Jesus, shepherds playing homage to the divine Child, and celebrating the birth of the Messiah.

What we have here is one of the greatest depictions of THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD. You must be a genuinely beautiful spirit, my lady.

Thanks for visiting and your uplifting comment, Bijan! I found this and other frescoes at the Chapel of Angels, that in art proclaim the Advent of Salvation to shepherds and mankind, beautifully moving and candid. My aim was to capture the image of what others created and my eyes and heart had the privilege of enjoying!
