Baby Jesus times 2000

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.
