Wind blew some of the straw roof off this stable on Broad Street, but that doesn't change the Good News that Christ is born.
The Nativity scene is said to have been introduced by St. Francis of Assisi back around the 13th Century as a visual way to tell the Christmas story. It's a story that changed the history of the world and has the power to change human hearts.
The Bible proclaims Christ to be God incarnate called the Son of God, "God with us," the Savior, everlasting Lord, Prince of Peace, King of Kings... long-awaited Messiah. Hallelujah for the good news!

Merry Christmas to you and your family. This is a lovely creche. I've posted one on Monte Carlo today too - totally made of straw. I hope you like it.
Merry Ho Ho Hos to you and yours - thanks for following my musings at Sydney Daily Photo
A creche is SO much a part of the season! May your holiday be happy and full of joy for you and your family and friends. Cheers for 2009!

i apologize for such limited commenting lately (and for this cut-and-paste today). Life has gotten in the way.
Happy Christmas!

Great entry, I have good memories as a child of the anual creche at my parents house. I agree with what you said. I am currently making a painting on Easter. See www.thepassionsproject.weebly.com would be interesting to hear what you think of it.
Regards from Marcel

I'm glad Selma had a nativity scene - wind aside. Traffic doesn't look that bad. Hope you have a happy and prosperous New Year. Pappy
