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. A few years later, the exhibition was set up as a permanent display with over 1500 different images of Baby Jesus in various postures as you can see from these few photos.
Two images of baby Jesus made from wax
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 or as a black baby.
