BETHLEHEM

Tinkling Christmas

The concept of my Bethlehem was based on the associations that came to my mind with the words Bethlehem. It is an integral part of Christmas. This time is accompanied with specific scents, flavors and also sounds, carols and bell ringing. Based on these suggestions, I decided to join musical instrument to Bethlehem. I chose Tiriangel. It is said that it is angelic instrument, we can not accurately determine the time and place of its origin, but its sound is pleasing to the ears, and he knows it to jangle absolutely everyone without  musical education.

Another of its attribute is symbolic. This meaning led me to  do a triangular shape and stylized figure of Bethlehem to this shape. Triengel with pik leading upward is a symbol of Christianity it represent men, strength and stability.  Triangle pointing down represents a woman. The triangles are arranged in hieratic perspective. The biggest shows of Jesus, smaller introducing Mary and Joseph, even smaller Three Kings and the smallest triangles are shepherds, bakers, landlords, therefore, ordinary people as well as us. For the construction above the Triangle I used symbol  of the Bethlehem star. In the middle of construction si the biggest and most shinning star  which announces birth place of Jesus. Around this star are also others complementary to the starry sky. To this Bethlehem everyone can contribute their tiranglom, become part of Bethlehem and sounded Christmas.
