Christmas is approaching as you all know and it's not all about buying gifts and eating like a pig!! For the Catholics, it's the celebration of the birth of Jesus. That is why in all churches in the word you find a "Nativity Scene" (une crèche, in French). There is one at the very end of this church (Jean-Baptiste de Pigalle)! A photo I took long ago, so long I don't even remember taking it! Here in Malta, a very very Catholic country, not only churches have Nativity Scenes, but you can also see many everywhere on the island (in people's windows, at roundabouts, etc.)
Peaceful nativity scenes.
ReplyDeleteQuite a beairiful thought In this busy time ;-)
We see them here, too--not just in Catholic churches but in others as well.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful sanctuary. My parents had a nativity scene... I think Dad still has it.
ReplyDeleteLovely sanctuary! We have a small nativity scene that's made of olive wood. 'Tis the season....
ReplyDeleteAnd hope it's a merry one for you, Eric.
