“In the beginning was the Word.” — John 1:1
Before the miracles, before the ministry, before the Cross, there was a manger.
In Principio, Latin for “In the Beginning,” is the second design in our Sacred Mosaic Collection. Inspired by the opening words of the Gospel of John, this piece captures the quiet wonder of Christ’s birth—the moment when the eternal Word entered the world as a child. Mary and Joseph bow tenderly over the infant Jesus, a simple, intimate scene that holds the extraordinary promise of salvation.
Inspired by the timeless beauty of religious mosaics, soft blues, warm golden tones, and carefully placed blocks of color bring this sacred moment to life. Thoughtfully designed with the stitcher in mind, In Principio offers beautiful opportunities for specialty fibers and decorative stitches while preserving the reverence and simplicity of the scene.
An exclusive Magnolia & Thorn design, available only through our website and Thread Thirty-One in Castroville, Texas. Part of a growing collection celebrating the life of Christ, In Principio reminds us that the greatest story ever told entered our world in the humblest of ways.
