THE CHRISTMAS DOUBLE ISSUE
It’s hard not to be moved by the tale of the first Christmas. A pregnant woman, married to a far older man, gives birth to her child far from home, in a manger in a stable ‘because there was no room in the inn’. In a further twist, the woman tells her husband that she is carrying God’s son, but, rather than divorcing her or fearing for her sanity, he loves her and the infant as his own. the story gets stranger and stranger. After receiving visits from shepherds, angels and some travelling kings, they escape into exile and thwart the murderous designs of King Herod. Way against the odds, goodness and love have conquered all. Because the story of Mary, Jesus and Joseph talks to us all, it has never failed to provide inspiration for painters. This month Caroline Campbell chooses her favourite depictions of the Madonna and Child and is moved by the evocations of tenderness in each painting.
