but a creche is hardly religious. It's simply a grouping of statues of Jews and animals.

Depends ... if you've got the full setup, there are also three statues of Persians, and at least one representation of a non-corporeal being.

Ah, yes, if Persians then a flying Garuda ~ on the other hand recent researchers have suggested that the three wise men came from just East of Judea ~ from the desert area we now call the West Bank.

That's a long way from Persia.

If so they too would have had their heads covered. Alternatively, they could have been other Jews recently arrived from the large Jewish community in the cities along the Euphrates.
