A compact exhibit at the National Gallery of Art Washington features paintings titled O Holy Night and others that retell the Hirst Christmas through early Renaissance themes rendered with advanced techniques and a life-like style.
A National Gallery feature surveys early Renaissance art as it captures the Nativity and Adoration scenes. Giovanni di Paolo’s Adoration of the Magi blends decorative excess with lifelike landscape, while Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi collaborations show idealized and naturalist styles. Petrus Christus uses oil on wood signaling a medium shift. Artists’ pigments, anatomical studies, and realism mark a turning point as medieval art gives way to Renaissance light.
Bethlehem marks three Christmases yearly with Dec 25 for Western churches and Jan 7 for Greek Orthodox plus Jan 19 for Armenians. Pilgrims worship at the grotto beneath the Basilica of the Nativity, rebuilt in the sixth century by Emperor Justinian, shared by Greek Orthodox, Armenians, and Catholics in a centuries old sanctuary.
Christmas trees do not simply grow. Commercial growers plant thousands of Fraser fir and other varieties, prune yearly, maintain weed control and fire lanes, and harvest mature trees in the seventh year to supply markets for the holiday season.
