The Nativity - The Picture.

[curiouswombat]

Here is a picture of the famous Nativity! I pressed S2C into putting it onto his website. It's not a brilliant photo - lots of parents and other relatives were trying to get pictures, small children were getting a bit fractious, and lots of people were trying to talk to me, so I only took the one!

Shepherds to the left - note one with head-dress on sideways, and one who has got his head-dress upside down and backwards (I think) so that the cardboard band shows! Joseph in brown with the purple head-dress, and no carpet! Isn't my little angel in the foreground lovely - even if her halo is a bit crooked. Nearest to camera, slightly out of focus, is 'Slightly Goth Neice' who had dashed around the back after being an innkeeper to come back as a Wise Man (We are an equal opportunity church!!), and the Wise Man nearest the centre of the picture is our Katherine who had done the same trick - not a very flattering piece of head-gear I'm afraid!

All angels of that age have slightly crooked halos, they're just not always so obvious!

What an adorable pic. I think those are the cutest shepherds I've ever seen.

Thanks. The youngest shepherd is the one on the right who is about 2 1/2 and is called Magnus - somehow you expect Magnuses to just be born as mightly Nordic warriors, not start off as a tiny shepherd don't you?

They are so darling! I love your Joseph, even without carpet! He has that lovely English complexion, with the rosy cheeks. And the little girl is yours as well? Very sweet.

Thanks. They arelovely aren't they? Actually the only one I own personally is Katherine! I love the rest of them to pieces, but I just have part shares in them on Sundays! Littlest angel is actually "Virgin Mary's" little sister.
