IT’S A BOY!

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 she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Absolutely love these postings, thank you for sharing these great works.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you enjoy them.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Thank you again. This time, I scanned across the paintings looking for accuracy in newborn infant depictions. There were some, but what bothered me were all the bare naked babies. They’d freeze! There was a reason Mary wrapped Him in swaddling clothes. 55, 56, 57 all show the swaddling clothes, and 57 had the blue and white of priestly garments.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Some of those artists were not also fathers.
