Sažetak
On the basis of bibliographic sources and field research, this paper provides medico-historical comments on a few examples of iconographic representations of the births of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Jesus Christ. The selected works are part of the Croatian sacral heritage produced in the period between 13th and 16th century. The conclusion of the overview is that Christianity and its iconography, besides religious
message and subject to an appropriate perception, can offer believers numerous practical information (in this case, biological) and have a health education purpose.
