Crib in Santo Antônio Church,
Castanheira, Mato Grosso, Brazil ~ 2006
Notice the real grass, which is watered each day, now it is time to cut it.
The was only one problem, someone kidnapped May & Joseph a few weeks ago, but thankfully they were later found.
It seems someone objected to them being placed in the crib before Christmas, especially when crib was put up for the first Sunday in Advent, as is tradition here.
So at the moment Jesus is in protected custody in the crib upstairs in the priest's house.
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;It makes no noise at all,
but softly gives itself away;
While quite unselfish, it grows small.

A vela de Natal é uma coisa linda;
não faz barulho nenhum,
mas suavemente se dá;
Num espírito de generosidade, ela se gasta.
