In addition to the Poinsettas, the Lighted Lampstand is significant (representative of the Holy Spirit) as are the eagles. Examine the card closely, it is rife with Christian symbology.

Thank you for pointing out the symbolism in the card. I am going to take another look at it.
Of course, the lack of a Christmas tree is the big deal to some people. Nevermind that before the mid-19th century, 99% of Americans didn't have one! Jeesh!

Thanks for the additional comments about the details of the painting.
