The central panel of the Portinari Altarpiece features several symbolic elements. The wheat symbolizes the Eucharist and Christ's body, while the flowers represent purity and the Virgin Mary. The shepherds signify humility and the common people witnessing Christ's birth, and the angels convey the divine presence and heavenly joy. Each element contributes to the overall theme of redemption and the significance of Christ's arrival.
