Christmas!

"Unto us, a child is born!"  

I present to you this lovely, inspiring painting by 

Jenedy Paige.   Please read her story of how she

came to paint this baby picture.

I think about the swaddling cloth--as a weaver and spinner,

I wonder, did Mary need to spin the linen for this cloth to wrap her baby?

Did she need to weave the bands to embroidery?  

And what thread did she use to stitch her symbols?  Was it linen also?

Hand dyed with indigo?  

So many questions to answer.

I have the book by archaeologist, Jeffrey R. Chadwick, 

and now we read with interest the story of the birth of

a Saviour!

To you and yours

Merry Christmas!
