Die Königin der Nacht trinkt Wasser aus den umklammerten Händen des Glaubens, während sich zwei Hirten umarmen, ohne von Jesu Geburt zu wissen. Engel, die fast durchsichtig auf der Leinwand dargestellt sind, sprühen Weihwasser und bringen Geschenke hervor. In der rechten Ecke ist ein kostbares Juwel abgebildet, während auf dem Kap der Madonna ein bescheidener Korb mit Truthähnen steht. In der Nähe befindet sich ein Korb mit einem Goldfink, einem alten Symbol, das ein Vorbote des Glücks für Neugeborene ist. Das Jesuskind, so wie die umklammerten Hände, aus denen die Königin trinkt, den Glauben darstellen - die Engel haben mit Weihwasser gesprenkelt und er wird sich bald der Welt bekannt machen:

"Für mich wird der Glaube an die Religion zum Glauben an die Malerei und wird die Riesen besiegen". - Max Pellegrini, Juli 2015, im Gespräch mit Kurator Chip Tom
