The Nativity
Stone relief
St. Anne's Chapel, Burgos Cathedral, Spain
As in Bridget of Sweden's vision Mary and Joseph kneel to the naked and luminous baby. Above them, a young shepherd plays his flute for the newborn child. Although the flute is a rare feature in Nativities, one does find a few other images and texts in which the shepherds respond to the angels' song with music of their own.
