The birth of Jesus of Nazareth changed the world.
For one third of humanity, it is the starting point of religious faith. This birth marked a turning point in the calculation of time. Right from the start, it was imbued with the mystery of divinity. Theologians and historians deliberate on this birth and its background as do archaeologists and astronomers. Down the centuries, it has lastingly and widely inspired the genius of artists more than any other event in history. The legends and traditions surrounding popular devoutness are immeasurable. This richly illustrated volume is about this very special birth, about what has already been ascertained and what is still a mystery, about what is factual and what is symbolic, about the history of faith and culture as well as magnificent depictions from the world of art. |
