“In Him was life, and that life was the light of humankind” (John 1:4)Creative, yet conventional, the five cribs in our house that put us into Christmas mood have an appeal of their own. The 'Big crib' became the centre of attraction for the many visitors to our house. Giving the theme, “Shoot of Hope”, it shows the Nativity scene over the stump of a cut tree. On the background is a picture of the 'fall of humankind' painted on cloth by the Novices. The sombrely floor covered with dry leaves stands in sharp contrast to the starry night sky heralding the Good News of the coming of the Saviour. The other four cribs are made in the usual way. Nevertheless the Christmas tree crib made under the beautifully decorated evergreen tree deserves to be mentioned. The theme, “Climb up to Welcome the Lord” was given to match with the steps built around the birthplace of Jesus. The natural settings shown in the crib gives added charm to the simplicity of this crib.
