Christmas Day is celebrated all over the world – even by those who are not Christians. The birthday of Jesus is significant because of the message of love, peace, and forgiveness that he taught. As I did this Christmas collage, I was reminded of a Christmas concert that I once attended and of a wonderful song that was sung. It was called “Birthday of a King.” These are the words:
In the little village of Bethlehem
There lay a child one day
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
O’er the place where Jesus lay.
Alleluia
O how the angels sang!
Alleluia
How it rang!
And the sky was bright
With a holy light
‘Twas the birthday of a King.
Humble birthplace
But O
How much God gave to us that day!
From the manger bed what a path has led
What a perfect holy way.
Whether you are participating in this celebration or not, hope you enjoy the collage. The images were taken at different times and in different places. I also included my own mosaic of Mary holding the Baby Jesus which I used in an earlier collage on another topic.
Merry Christmas!
