Christmas Day is celebrated all over the world - even by those who are not Christians. The birthday of Jesus is significant because of the message of love, peace, and forgiveness that he taught. As I did this Christmas collage, I was reminded of a Christmas concert that I once attended and of a wonderful song that was sung. It was called “Birthday of a King.” These are the words:
In the little village of Bethlehem There lay a child one day And the sky was bright With a holy light O’er the place where Jesus lay.
Alleluia O how the angels sang! Alleluia How it rang! And the sky was bright With a holy light ‘Twas the birthday of a King.
Humble birthplace But O How much God gave to us that day! From the manger bed what a path has led What a perfect holy way.
Whether you are participating in this celebration or not, hope you enjoy the collage. The images were taken at different times and in different places. I also included my own mosaic of Mary holding the Baby Jesus which I used in an earlier collage on another topic.
Merry Christmas!
