| It cannot
be said for sure whether the stall in which Jesus was born was man-made
or a cave. A cave in which shepherds could find shelter for themselves
and their animals during bad weather or through the night. In this nativity scene the cave is made of limestone - tuff. A very new, soft, porous stone, whose wonderful structure develops when chalky water drips onto leaves and branches. This thought is worthy of reflection: Here we have creation holding its hand over the creator: The rocks, stones, trees and plants. The message of the nativity points to the creator: |
| Nel principio era la Parola e la Parola era presso Dio, e la Parola era Dio. Egli (la Parola) era nel principio con Dio. Tutte le cose sono state fatte per mezzo di lui (la Parola), e senza di lui nessuna delle cose fatte è stata fatta. Giovanni 1, 1 - 3 |
| Apart
from all Christmassy feelings: In the background the cross is waiting
by a stony pathway. It is here that the creator will finally fall
unprotected into the hands of mankind. Displayed as a sinner he will
die for the sinners. What joy that beside the crib and the cross there is also the resurrection. Another grotto, a cave with a sealed door totally unable to withhold the sovereign, risen Lord. Nuremberg June 1999 |
