Description
The first of the twelve Great Feasts is the Nativity of the Theotokos (September 8/21). The Gospels do not describe this event – we know about it through Holy Tradition. Much of its iconography draws on an apocryphal source – the Protoevangelium of James – the brother of Christ according to the flesh, the son of Saint Joseph the Betrothed through his first marriage.
In certain depictions, one may notice a red velum — a piece of drapery thrown from one architectural feature of the icon to another. This cloth symbolises the bridge between the Old and New Testaments and also shows the scene is set indoors.
Incidentally, the "Nativity of the Theotokos" icon is the first in the row of icons in the high iconostasis, which tells the story of how humans were saved. In later depictions, everyday items like a jug, a bath, a bed, and living quarters get more attention. Yet the tiny newborn Virgin remains off-centre, hinting at the greatness of her future humility.
