All hail!
I’m an Episcopal priest. At a parish I served in some years back, we had a custom of giving kids animals from the nativity scene to carry in procession and place around the manger at the Christmas Eve service. I would be at the end of the procession to place the Christ child in the manger and then cense the scene before saying the opening prayers. I do so and happen to catch something out of the ordinary: a tiny rubber dinosaur has somehow made it into Bethlehem. So I start the service by noting this and the church has a good chuckle.
No one ever fessed to putting in there, but it became a fixture in the parish’s nativity scene from then on (with kids occasionally clamoring to be the one to carry the dinosaur in the procession).
I always see it as T-rexes with a table saw lol
“…There was more than one lobster present at the birth of Jesus?!”
They’re lonely if they’re alone
My toddler took a bowl and a wooden spoon and made “nativity soup” this morning. The true trinity of the bowl, the spoon, and the holy broth.
All Glory to the Hypnotoad!
EDIT: Does anybody know how to format image links here using Voyager on Firefox?
This isn’t browser specific, but if you type
…it works. Just make sure your url is a direct link to the image, not a webpage that has anything else on it.
For almost anything on lemmy, just look up how to do it in markdown and you’ll get your answer. (Note that I said “almost.”)
