Christ was likely born in a cave, not in a man-made structure. In our hymnography we refer to the cave as a gift from the earth itself to the Master of all Creation at the time of His Nativity in the flesh. It does symbolize the coming of the light of the world into the darkness, but it is meant to depict reality just as much as it is meant to depict the meaning of the event.
True. It is both. It is also there to reference scripture.
Matthew, Ch 4.
12When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he returned to Galilee. 13Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, along the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles—
16the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned."

I get my pigments from "Natural Pigments", when I do write in tempera. Most of the time I use Jo Sonja's Acrylic Gouache.

Can't get the Natural Pigments site to work, but this one looks pretty good too.

Use Jo Sonja's Acrylic Gouache from Jerrys Artarama. It is $1.99 per tube.

My friend Nick swears by Utrecht paint, I have not used it. Both Matt and I use Jo Sonja's. I also love Golden brand acrylics.
