The foretelling of Christ's death, burial and resurrection is written into the Nativity Icon of Christ.

His birth

"And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger..." Luke 2:7

His death

"And he bought a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud, and laid him in a tomb..." Mark 15:46

Maybe birth and death are the same thing in a way

There is definitely creedence to this! Saint's feast days are celebrated on their dates of repose and of course the sacrament of baptism is littered with hymns throughout in reference to dying with Christ and being born new in His resurrection.
