We turn the page of our picture book to the next stained glass window,
THE CHRISTMAS STORY,
celebrated each December 25th. Jesus is wrapped in swaddling clothes and placed in a manger. We all know this beautiful story which speaks of the humility of God and of His great love for us. Choosing to be born of all places in the world, in a stable - foul and smelly, He shows us from the very beginning, from the prick of the straw, that the life of Jesus would be a life of suffering.
