The image itself is very symbolic of kinetic movement, even though nothing within the still image itself if actually moving. It’s a 2D image but is made to seem as though it’s 3D by showing movement of the characters without them actually moving.

The image appears to be moving by showing the 2D characters at different points within the story. The same characters can be seen more than once within the same image to show the kinetic movement of the characters within the story. This allows the audience to see the movement, which in turn will tell its own story.

Two movements within the scene that are very obvious to the audience is the flapping motion of Joesph and Mary to the cradle and the dancing of the angels in the sky.
