Christmas can indeed be called the most beloved holiday of all Christians. It’s full of exciting hopes, an expectation of miracles, and the fulfillment of cherished dreams. The feeling of life renewal to come after the Nativity of Christ night brightens up the days before the festive event, bringing joy to life as we think about it. Christmas is associated with the lightest thoughts and aspirations.
It's hard to imagine an event that inspires artists more than the Nativity of Christ and its miracle. From ancient times to the present day, it has awakened in people the brightest and kindest feelings, and in those involved in art has inspired the need to create, spreading the joy of the birth of Jesus Christ into our world.
