So yeah, it's a nativity scene.
Thought it would be a nice thing for the grandparents-in-law this christmas, despite my really obvious lack of christian-ness.

But I could not bring myself to do white blond baby jesus. So here's my nativity with people who might conceivably have been there, though not wearing anything they could conceivably have been wearing :)

In other news, making baby jesus the source of light is fun.

It's a nice Christmas Nativity Picture. I like the simple character poses, and the light illuminating the baby Jesus in the center.

Well done & Merry Christmas!

Way late, but thank you, and I hope you had one too!
:iconquest-chronicler:
Better late than never, and yes: I absolutely did!

I love nativity scenes set all over the world. I have a card with Mary done in Muromachi-style Japanese traveling garb, holding baby Jesus, and I remember one done Inuit style, and another done West African style. If you think about it, blond, blue-eyed Jesus was just a product of Europeans European-izing the theme in the same way.

Your one is lovely. Baby Jesus is really sweet and I love the light on the edge of Mary's robes.

Yay! Thank you :)

I should at some point find & scan the photograph we have of me as an angel in a nativity play. I am about five years old, tiny, and *entirely* oblivious to the fact that I'm out of sync with all the other angels.
