It is at pains to point out that much of the ceremony took place during the Christmas vigil and on the feast of the Nativity. |
In Matthew's Nativity, the angelic Annunciation is made to Joseph while Luke's is to Mary. |
These details are not mentioned by the Gospels, but are an invariable feature of every icon of the Nativity. |
Tucked away amongst the tasteful hotels and high-walled houses, is the Nativity Church. |
The engravings of Adam and Eve and the Nativity, both of 1504, are the first fruits of these investigations. |
Other works include The Nativity for soprano and orchestra, sacred choral anthems, hymn preludes for organ and works for trumpet and organ. |
