I’ve written before on what I call Christmas Card Theology, the historical and biblical inaccuracies of our popular art and imagery when it comes to all things Christmas. I just noticed something tonight for the first time.
I was looking for images of Joseph and Mary making the journey to Bethlehem. The second Sunday of Advent is coming up and we will light the Bethlehem candle as we focus on the faith it took Joseph and Mary to trust God during remarkable circumstances. This is just a sampling of the many images that Google found in a fraction of a second. Take a look, see if anything jumps out at you.
Many Christians celebrate Epiphany on the Sunday after January 6th. Sometimes my mind makes connections between things that others may have thought unrelated. Maybe we all do that, working in what some describe as thought webs, but I’m about to submit one such thought for your consideration.
