Nativity Play


(Dedicated to Roth-Vizi Réka)

The Arnolfini Marriage by Jan Van Eyck in 1434
A child ruthlessly changes the course of a mother’s life. It is a biological process through which they both undergo and never look back, there is no past, just future. A few thousand years ago a woman had underwent such a process, however the lives changed by this particular process were far more numerous than expected. Funny how an umbilical cord-based relationship can change the whole course of History. 
Yet, we celebrate this very umbilical cord at the end of the current month, respectively year.
