I’ve always felt at least a little uncomfortable
with the common modern renditions of the conditions of Christ’s birth:
Mary and Joseph travel to Bethlehem, poor and alone.
They reach the one inn in town,
Mary obviously ready to pop,
if not already in labor,
only to find it crowded
and run by a grumpy and inhospitable innkeeper
who gruffly forces them to leave.
In despair and urgency,
they take refuge in a stable among the animals and filth.
Alone and in the most squalid of circumstances imaginable,
the Christ child is born and
laid in the manger
where the cows and goats continue to nibble the hay out from under his head.
This weeks episode, we dive into another way it could have gone!
