Nativity Holy Family
The symbolism in this painting?
http://campus.udayton.edu/mary/Garcia_Nativityt.jpg This painting is titled the Nativity and see that holding Mary the infant Jesus (the figures in white), but what / who is the black character in the making? Is it God? Is Jose celebration of the Holy Family? And it he is a stick in his hand?
This is probably San Jose (as patron saint of travelers is the owner of a cane, a traditional symbol travel and pilgrimage).
