Christian Christmas Frame TV Art Bundle: 27 Nativity Paintings

Twenty-seven Christmas paintings for a Samsung Frame TV, enough to put a new scene on the screen nearly every day of Advent and keep going into Christmas week. Starry stables and a shepherds' campfire sit alongside the Annunciation, the wise men at a desert oasis, Joseph asleep while an angel stands beside him, and a pale dawn after the holy night. Each one is a 16:9 JPG at 3840 x 2160 pixels in the deep blue, umber and gold of old master oils.

From Nazareth to Egypt in twenty-seven scenes

The bundle follows the whole Christmas story and the hours around it. Most of Luke's account is here: Gabriel's visit to Mary, the road to Bethlehem, a street of lamplit stone houses, the door where there was no room, the birth, the angel over the shepherds and a night sky crowded with the heavenly host. Matthew's account follows the star, with the wise men at an oasis and on the dunes, their gifts before the child, Joseph's dream and the escape into Egypt, plus the family resting under a palm on the way. Between those episodes come landscapes that tell no story at all, such as a star above a sea of clouds or Bethlehem seen from the fields. Those are good paintings to leave on the screen when the house is busy and nobody is looking closely.

Fifteen paintings you will not find in the set of 12

Starry Nativity shows a small stable glowing in a misty valley while sheep rest around it. Stable on the Hill moves closer, to a stone stable among olive trees with the Holy Family inside and the star's rays slanting down. In Shepherds by the Fire three men lean on their crooks beside a campfire, and The Shepherd Boy sits on a rock with a lamb in his arms, looking up at the star. Mary and the Newborn King is the most intimate scene in the bundle: Mary holds the child beside an oil lamp while Joseph sits in the shadow. The Empty Manger leaves only straw, an ox, a donkey and a lamb in a beam of light. Joseph's Dream, Rest on the Flight into Egypt and Dawn after the Holy Night carry the story past Christmas Day.

Five ZIP files and a setup guide

Twenty-seven 4K files make a large download, so the paintings are split into five ZIP files, and the one page setup guide in PDF sits inside the first part. Unzip each part on your phone or computer before you move the images. On Samsung The Frame, add them through the SmartThings app in Art Mode as your own photos, then choose no mat so the 16:9 painting reaches every edge. A smart TV from another brand can play them from a USB stick, and a monitor or digital frame can show them through a photo app or a screensaver. Every file name starts with a number from 01 to 27, which keeps the paintings in the bundle's order on your phone or computer. No TV is included and nothing is shipped.

One painting a day, or a slower rotation

Advent lasts between twenty-two and twenty-eight days depending on the year, so twenty-seven paintings give you a new picture almost every morning from the first Sunday to Christmas Eve. If a daily change feels like too much, change the painting each Sunday and leave it up for the week. The bundle also reaches past December: the wise men, their gifts and the journey into Egypt suit the twelve days of Christmas and the week of Epiphany on January 6. Dawn after the Holy Night, with its pale sky and a thin line of smoke from a cottage chimney, makes a gentle last painting before the decorations come down. The paintings were created with AI assistance, then selected, checked and finished by The Framed Verse so that the whole bundle shares one palette.

Frequently asked questions

Does the bundle include the set of 12?

Yes. The twelve paintings of the Christmas story set, from The Annunciation to The Flight into Egypt, are in this bundle as the same files, and fifteen more appear only here. If you already own the set, three of those fifteen are also sold on their own: Starry Nativity, Stable on the Hill and Shepherds by the Fire.

How do I open five ZIP files on my phone?

Current iPhones and Android phones can unpack a ZIP from their built in file app, and most computers do it with a double click. Unzip all five parts, then pick the paintings you want from the photos or files on your device. The setup guide is a PDF inside part 1 and walks through the Frame TV steps.

Which paintings suit the days after Christmas?

Matthew's half of the story belongs there: The Magi at the Oasis, The Wise Men Follow the Star and The Adoration of the Magi for the run up to Epiphany, then Joseph's Dream, The Flight into Egypt and Rest on the Flight into Egypt. Dawn after the Holy Night and Star above the Clouds have no figures and fit any day.

Is anything printed or framed?

No. You receive digital image files only, and the living room photos in the gallery show how a painting looks on a Frame TV. There is no TV, frame, print or mat in the purchase. Colors can look slightly different from one screen to the next, depending on its brightness and picture settings.

Can I pass the files on to family or friends?

The license covers your own household and its screens. Please do not send the files to other households, upload them to a shared drive or resell them. Anyone else who would like the paintings can buy their own copy, and a single painting from the bundle is also sold on its own if one scene is all they want.
