I share with you a stunning
display of images of Baby Jesus, set up as a permanent exhibition in a private
house in Birkirkara, Malta. I first was introduced to this exhibition in 2002,
and visited it with my father, incidentally just 3 days before he died. Six
years ago, the exhibition was set up as a permanent display with close to 2000
different images of Baby Jesus in various postures as you can see from these
few photos.
Some of them are made from clay, plastic, ceramic, chalk or gesso,
and some even from wax. Most of them represent the infant Jesus as he lies in
his manger, but others represent the Infant of Prague and others showing Jesus
as a toddler. The exhibition is open for the entire month of December, but is
also open to visitors on request all year round. The owner said recently that
he is trying to expand the exhibition as he is running out of room.
