The first day of Christmas

25 December 2007 by pcNielsen Leave a Comment

This is the first post celebrating the twelve days of Christmas, with a Christmas related work of art to celebrate each day — just for fun and festiveness. Today, Christmas day, we celebrate with an icon of Nicholas of Myra, or St. Nicholas, from the Iconostasis of Transfiguration church, Kizhi monastery, Karelia, Russia.
