| The landscape
of Bethlehem in mind. On the outskirts of the village the remaining
walls of a burnt down house. A remnant of the last war. Shepherds
have formed a stall by adding a few beams and planks of wood to make
a roof. People and animals can use it as a shelter against the burning
sun and the rain. Apart from that, it is much like the stalls to be found in Israel today - open to the elements. Really no more than a miserable hut. At first the banner in front of this nativity scene seems ironical: |
| Et la
parole a été faite chair, et elle a habité parmi
nous, pleine de grâce et de vérité; et nous avons
contemplé sa gloire, une gloire comme la gloire du Fils unique
venu du Père. Jean 1, 14 |
| The contrast
between the godly and the human point of view. The mystery of this
birth! Shepherds and lords kneeling together in adoration before the
child, the king. Animals are also present. Just as they were, when God brought them to the people, who were to name them... Nuremberg March 1999 |
