My Baby Jesus

You have seen this Baby Jesus before in a few posts over the past two weeks. This is the Baby Jesus I grew up with, and so my imagination of what Baby Jesus looked liked was always the image of this face, a statue made from paper-mache which is placed every year at the main altar of my childhood church of St. Julian’s. 
A week ago, the baby was lying on his side, but now he has been placed standing on a rock, which gives a much better visibility, as you can see from these photos. The cross below him is a part of the tabernacle, and it gives a perspective of what was to come to dear Jesus within 33 years of his birth.

5th anniversary of my Blog – this is the fifth anniversary since I started my blog in the USA. With over 1500 posts on my first blog, which is still accessible at: www.fatherjulian.blogspot.com and over 250 so far in this Blog, one can find many inspirational stories, quotes, reflections, lives of saints and of course plenty of great photos. Please share the address with your friends, and tell them simply to put the address in their Favorites and check it for 2 minutes a day. Anyone who ever visited it, came back for more. My purpose for this Blog is to give something uplifting each day, in the midst of many other negative and destructive blogs that cause so much heartache and hurt. Thank you for visiting here.
