Syriac Gospel Lectionary
Church of the Forty Martyrs, MS 41, 13th century
The birth of Jesus
Recto folio, p31 from an undated (probably 13th century) Syriac Gospel Lectionary from the Church of the Forty Martyrs (formerly at Dayr Al-Zaˤfarān). The painting, one of twenty in this manuscript, shows the birth of Jesus; it has suffered somewhat in the middle of the page and is thus not one of the better preserved.
