In the stable of Bethlehem this year, things are going to be a a little different than usual. When they arrived at the stable where Jesus was to be born, Mary and Joseph found a farmer watching the animals, and they were surprised he had to take their temperature. He asked them to use the sanitizer and reprimanded them for not wearing a mask! When Jesus was born, the shepherds arrived wearing masks, but the fruit, eggs and milk they brought with them, Mary could not touch them before a week passes by. Then when the Three Kings arrived, since they came from a foreign country, the poor guys had to be quarantined for 14 days, and instead of offering Jesus his gifts on the Epiphany, they gave them to Him on the 20th of January. And when the Angels appeared to proclaim ‘Glory to God and Peace on Earth,’ they informed the people of Bethlehem that the vaccine will not arrive before March or April. But gathered around the manger where Jesus lay, they rejoiced with the new baby, as He screamed and wailed, but surrounded by a bright light, and everyone knew that he was a very special baby – the Son of God and Son of Mary and Joseph. Thankfully the new-born baby did not have to wear a mask!
