Nativity Scene - Cappello Palatino Holiday Card
The back of this "Merry Christmas" card provides a historical background for the cover's image:
Title / Date: "Nativity Scene in Cappello Palatina Palermo" / 1150
Artist: Unknown
Born of the commingling of Viking raiders/settlers and the Tenth Century natives of Normandy (Northern France; across the Channel from England), the Normands famously took control of England in 1066 AD. Less well-known are their conquests of Southern Italy and Sicily, which evolved from 999-1139 AD (victory short-lived: Sicily fell to the Hohenstaufen's in 1198 AD).
This nativity scene, painted in 1150 AD by Maestro Unknown, can still be seen in the Cappello Palatina Palermo, the chapel of the Norman Kings of Sicily, located inside the Palazzo dei Normanni (Palace of the Normans) in Palermo, Sicily.
You should go there! And check it out! I would, but the life of a scribe lacks both the funds and the wild, dragonflight adventuresomeness requisite such adventures.

I really love this traditional icon Christmas card! The card really captures how I celebrate Christmas which I can share with friends and family. I especially love the back of the card as it states Merry Christmas in multiple different languages including Greek, Ukrainian / Russian, Arabic, French, English and more. This card is really something I am proud to send out during the holidays. The color of print on the card is brilliant and fantastic. The quality of paper used for the card. It actually feels like a proper Christmas card. If you want to spend money on some nice Orthodox Christmas cards, this is the one you want!

I love this card. The graphics are on the inside and back of this card. It's superb. You won't find anything like this anywhere else. The card stock is thick and impressive and the colors were spot on. The colors were printed exactly as it looks online. The gold color looks like gold.
