Why wasn’t Jesus born in [Insert country or state here. Default is “Italy”]?

They couldn’t find three wise men. Or a virgin.

Popular in Catholic schools in New York because the church was Italian, and the student body split about 50-50 between Irish- and Italian-American.

Ummmm......yeah. Sure.

Internecine warfare and jealousy-driven passive aggressivism would have ensured that no one ever arrived.

There’s a reason why all the great explorers (excepting an honorable mention to Sacagawea) were and are men.

Good puzzle, though!
