CHRISTMAS BIBLE-ART EPISODE #13 of 33

NO ROOM
AT THE INN

L U K E
CHAPTER 2

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and…there was NO ROOM FOR THEM IN THE INN.

Merry, Merry Christmas.
Some great paintings but respect to Brassey Hole, Tissot and Anderson.

Welp, we got all the way, finally, to Christmas Day, rejoicing in the arrival of our Savior. And these artists contributed to our celebration.

Merry Christmas, dear Alba!
