Shepherds visit the new-born Baby

This is the Christmas reenactment scene on our mantel.  It will stay there until mid morning on December 25.

After the shepherds have left, the scene will change.  The baby is replaced with a young child.  The angel is no longer in the sky above.  A large star is suspended above the scene.  Magi, bearing gifts, are now paying homage.

This scene will remain in place through January 6 (Epiphany aka Three-Kings Day).  After that we pack the figures and put them in storage for another year.
