The opportunity to contemplate two extraordinary motherhoods such as the Madonna and Child by Orazio Gentileschi and the Madonna of the Straw, one of the masterpieces of Van Dyck's religious production, specifically during the Christmas festivities, offers inspiration to reflect through art on the mystery of the Incarnation. The meaning and strong symbolism of the Christmas calendar will be discussed through the suggestions of great works of art. Why does Epiphany fall on the 6^th of January? Have you ever wondered why Candlemas is celebrated on the 2^nd of February, not forgetting New Year and the Marian festivities? A meeting to gain some insights into the meaning of Time, which Art overcomes through its eternal language.
