Th« Nyssa Gate City Journal, Nyssa, Oregon Thursday, Decomber 24, 1970 ¡Telling StoryfiJ |Of Nativity f TVT - • "And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, let us * now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is *. come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. us “And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph * and the babe lying in a manger." Luke 2:15-16. As even little children know, the words of St. Luke tell the Z story of the Miracle in a manger. Shepherds watching in the ; fields, herald angels singing — these things Christians can y picture today because of St. Luke, the physician who be- “ came Christ’s disciple. > Traditionally, St. Luke did still more to preserve the spir itual treasures of the Christmas story. He literally pictured the Madonna. * According to this tradition, St. Luke was an iconographer yas well as a physician, and as such he created the first im age of the Madonna, a painting that became the guide for ^many icons in later centuries. * As legend has it, St. Luke’s icon of the Madonna and his •jother paintings were the forerunners of the style of artistic expression known as Byzantine art. y Oppressed and suppressed in some eras, Byzantine reli gious art has so original and distinctive a style that it re turned again and again, to thrive throughout 12 centuries. ’Today, it is enjoying a rebirth, through the efforts of dedi cated iconographers.
