The Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, better known as the Christmas Proclamation, is a verifiable trip through time.

Christmas carols and hymns are everywhere! As we hear these familiar and beloved tunes, we can begin to wonder where they come from.

No detail in God’s plan of salvation is coincidental. In the accounts of Jesus’ birth and infancy, a variety of people (and angels, too!) show up on the scene.

“The nativity scene is like a living Gospel rising up from the pages of sacred Scripture.” – Pope Francis

The feast of the Holy Family is appropriately placed on the liturgical calendar linking the Incarnation of Jesus to the human family who loved and taught him.
