It is significantly said in some of the early Christian writers that Jesus was "born in a cave" the "stable" of the gospel narrative; the "Cave of Initiation" is a well-known ancient phrase, and the Initiate is ever born therein; over that cave "where the young child" is burns the "Star of Initiation," the Star that ever shines forth in the East when a Child-Christ is born.
His Madonna is 'pondering these things, as Scripture says, and the Child-Christ and angels are in intense sympathy with her. We long to look again and again at such pictures they move us. "Another characteristic of his work is the action a vehement impetuous motion. You will find this finely illustrated in his Allegory of Spring, a very famous picture in the Academy.
Every life which begins thus to shape itself is preparing the cave in which the Child-Christ shall be born, and the life shall become a constant at-one-ment, bringing the divine more and more into the human. Every such life shall grow into the life of a "beloved Son," and shall have in it the glory of the Christ.
