I was there in Bethlehem - twice. I would not like to be there now - there is too much conflict and unsettledness in the region. However in the news soon we will hear about Christmas services there.

There are Christmas crèches from my past and my present.
The Catholic Church - St. Julien’s - in Lachute always had one. So did the rich neighbours. There was a large one with life sized figures.
Of course the manger was always empty until Christmas Eve.
I walked by an empty one a few weeks ago outside a Catholic Church.
St. John’s has a beautiful one with intricate figures made by one of the more artistic members of the congregation.
