Away in a Manger

Our church put on a Creche that was open to the community and it was absolutely amazing! Nativity scenes from around the world were displayed beautifully around the church building while musicians performed live music. My sweetheart was asked to play the piano for part of that time.

I brought this nativity to put on display. My wonderful mom designed and painted this Nativity Puzzle.

They had a room set up for children. The walls and ceiling were covered with parachutes and the room was lit with faux candles making the atmosphere very peaceful. Inside the children's room there were different nativities that children were allowed to touch. They also had different coloring activities-which Grant and Maddie loved!

There were hundreds of different nativities on display. I took a few pictures of the more unique ones.

Nativity made from a coconut.

Looks like it comes from India

This one was made in Kenya.

Made in Nepal


This was a beautiful event and I enjoyed seeing the nativities from all over the world. We are all God's children and He loves us so much that He sent His son. I am grateful for the birth of my Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!
