Greek Nativity Scene

After becoming the cradle of cilivilisation and of maybe the coolest mythology ever, Greece became the cradle of Christianity and maybe its true developer. Which is true also of its imagery. I found this picture on the Facebook page of the British Museum. It is of course a Nativity Scene. I found it quite interesting: the Virgin Mary (in traditional blue clothes) is at center stage and looks like she is resting after giving birth. I think it is a very naturalistic depiction of her and of a family when a newborn has just showed up.
