“He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
– Luke 4:18
I love this painting by Sandro Botticelli. By combining Christ’s birth as told in the gospels with a vision of his second coming in the Book of Revelation, “The Mystical Nativity” calls us not only to think of Christ’s birth, but to look forward to his return.
