A radiant shooting star brings news of Jesus' birth in an endearing cedar wood panel by Javier Ramirez. The star features Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus, while adoring shepherds fill the star's tail. Above, an angel holds a banner that reads, Gloria in Excelsus Deus (Glory to God in the Highest). Ramirez hand-carves the scene with expert detail, revealing the personages in high relief. Painted with oils, the panel features bronze leaf accents.
