While I was stationed at Holy Spirit parish in New Hyde Park, New York, I became interested in origami, and I created an Origami Christmas Nativity in 1983. It features Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus, the three kings and three camels, a donkey and a cow, a deer, some pine trees, some colorful boxes and a large star, besides a number of colorful cranes hanging on the tree, the symbol of peace.
The Japan Airlines Office in Manhattan used to set up a huge Christmas Tree, with ornaments created by Japanese children living in New York. It was on display for a the Christmas season, and I always admired the intricate work needed to come up with clever ideas of how to use origami in an inventive way.
