I was driving around this afternoon, heading from one
late-Christmas store purchase to another, when my eye was caught by the display
you see here. This crèche scene was facing Washington Avenue, outside
St. John the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church, in Bergenfield, not far from
where I live in Bergen County, NJ.
The sight pulled me up short, reminding me that this
time of year should not be about the purchases but about a baby—but not just
any baby—brought into a very dark world to light it with love, and to reunite the worlds of man and nature into a harmonious whole.
