NATIVITY SCENE OF ADORATION
ANBETUNGSKRIPPE
Nativity Scene Of Adoration

Nativity Scene Of Adoration.

Sunlight flooding through church windows, before me a low bench to kneel on ...
And in front of the church a grotto:
Jesus in Gethsemane: wrestling in prayer with the Father.

My thoughts turn on a certain Negro-Spirituals:

When I fall down on my knees with my face to the rising sun,
O Lord, have mercy on me!

The Strophes:
|: Let us break bread together with the Lord. :|
|: Let us drink wine together with the Lord. :|
|: Let us praise God together with the Lord. :|
noten
Let us break bread togehter ... When I fall down on my knees ...


This hymn refers to a text from the first letter of Paul's to the Corinthians
(1. Corinthians 11, 23 -26):
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.

PRINTVERSION (PDF)
This crib ist strongly geometrical:
The apses curve and the quartered circle of the apses,
the triangular 30 degree roof,
the sqare copper slates of the roof.

In complete oppostion to this irregular, crude, river pebbles forming the apses and the front wall.
Each stone is as the waters of live have formed it.
Almost as in real life ...   :-)

The clay figures were made by the artist Mrs. Sokoliuk from Erlangen, Bavaria.
