Every year in conjunction with the City of Carmel's tree lighting ceremony, our church puts on a Live Nativity Scene complete with livestock. The boys have enjoyed participating in this event, and Noah even lay claims to a certain wise man outfit, claiming it is 'his' since he has worn it several years in a row. Lukas has held the role of Joseph in the past but this year joined the ranks of wise guys along with a last minute recruit of a new, good friend who recently moved to town.The solemn look is simply part of the 'role we play, Mamma,' explain Noah and Lukas when I asked.
The live tableau is a beautiful reminder of the reason for the season, Christ leaving His place at the right hand of the Father to come to earth to save us from our sins. Truly the most incredible and amazing gift, one that cannot be topped no matter what. We rejoice and excitedly look forward to his coming again.
