As we near the end of the Christmas season,
allow me to share with you two more Nativities I saw this week, actually crafted
by a father and son combination. The first one is by the father with beautiful hand-made
figurines representing the Holy Family with a donkey close by, some sheep and a lady with a pitcher of water.
The second one is
by the son and shows Jesus as a toddler, making his first step towards his
mother Mary, watched carefully by his father St. Joseph. It is a scene
reminiscent of the early days of Jesus, which could probably have been in Egypt,
as they were avoiding the wrath of Herod who wanted to kill their Son. It is a
popular domestic scene when children start to walk on their own with parents
and other siblings cheering them on.
