The first known depiction in Western Art of a person who may have Down Syndrome. "The Adoration of the Christ Child," by a follower of Jan Joest of Kalkar (Netherlandish, active ca. 1515), oil on wood, 41 x 28 1/4 in. (104.1 x 71.8 cm), The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. #arthistory #downsyndrome #art #painting #oilpainting #Christmas

I am touched by the idea that perhaps the artist had a loved one with Down Syndrome, a child, a sibling, someone in the extended family and chose to include them in this holy scene.

From DownSyndromePrenatalTesting.com: 'In their article, "An Angel With Down Syndrome in a Sixteenth Century Flemish Nativity Painting," Andrew Levitas and Cheryl Reid explain the significance of historical paintings in documenting certain types of disability... Levitas and Reid examined the painting and the portrayals of the individuals in it. They focused on the angel immediately to Mary's left and to the right of the angel in the center of the painting. The authors noted the tell-tale facial features of Down syndrome and that the fingers, particularly those on the left hand, appear shorter. Levitas and Reid further considered the image of the shepherd directly above the angel in the middle, who also has facial features suggestive of Down syndrome.'

From the museum: 'This nighttime scene is based on an account by Saint Bridget of Sweden, who claimed to have seen a holy vision of the Nativity during a pilgrimage to Bethlehem in 1372. The details which correlate with Bridget's account are the young Virgin with flowing hair, the naked Christ Child, and the singing angels. The most important element of Bridget's vision is the "great and ineffable light" which emanates from the Child to illuminate his surroundings, entirely eclipsing the light of the candle held by Joseph. This effect of illumination allowed painters to both indicate the holiness of the event as well as to experiment with dramatic lighting effects.'

#MikeBohacek, a Republican from #Michiana whose daughter has #Downsyndrome, said Trump’s remark using the word “retard” crossed a PERSONAL line. The president hurled the slur in a late-night anti-immigration tirade during which he branded the #Democrat “seriously retarded.” youtu.be/7ogH5fFdsoQ?...

Let's start with some particulars. My adult daughter has #DownSyndrome and lives with a "roommate". She is, obviously, permanently disabled. She lives this way because it has been the best way we've found to preserve independence and to maintain a healthy household. She is lucky in that we have been able to create this living situation.

Last night Alice's roommate took her to a pro wrestling match nearby. Alice really loves wrestling. I don't know where this came from other than cosplay championship wrestling she's seen at ConnectiCon. #downSyndrome #disability #community

A young woman with Down syndrome mimics the pose of a pro wrestler who is standing next to her holding up his fist.

No one intended to go with this girl to the high school dance, but the TEAM CAPTAIN invited her to go with HIM. Sometimes the SMALLEST act of kindness can change a person with #DownSyndrome 's life! I'm blessed enough to have 2 with special needs in my family. Be kind. #MadeMeSmile
