The Christmas Story

In this picture book, Gennady Spirin's illustrations accompany the narrative of Christ's birth, taken directly from Matthew and Luke's Gospel accounts.  His lush and luminous depictions are absolutely appropriate and communicate the weightiness...that is, the beauty and glory...of the story.

Check out this book as well as his other illustrations of Christmas and classic fairy tales here.
