There was some excitement at Holy Name of Mary's life-sized outdoor nativity this morning. Read on...
A note from Holy Name....
Baby Jesus went missing from the Nativity scene in front of the Church on this snowy morning.
The police were called and a police report was submitted. This had happened before, back in 2012. We never got the baby Jesus back then, and had to purchase a replacement.
But this time was different... the baby hadn't actually been stolen.
It was 'relocated'.
Someone thought the Baby might need a break from hanging with the sheep, and would be happier in the arms of his 'godfather', a wise man who had come to leave Him a gift. (see photo).
The police were very understanding.
Blessings on the Epiphany and on Sunday: the baptism of the lord.
Great story.
ReplyDeleteI noticed Jesus was "gone" on my way to the city and got pretty p.o'd. So nice to hear that it wasn't stolen again.
