One more Nativity

Nativity at St Francis of Assisi church, 27th Street entrance, Bend, OR.

Most people think that the Christmas season is over, but the Catholic church recognizes the feast of the Baptism of Jesus as the end of the Christmas season. That in fact will be next Sunday, January 11, and so in anticipation of tomorrow's feast of the Epiphany, I share with you just one more Nativity, displayed at the entrance of our new church complex on 27th Street in Bend. Actually I took this photo this past week on a hazy day while the sun was rising, and I positioned the faded sun right where the star is placed, and gave me a very special effect, as you can see. 

This Nativity was set up by Alan and Sean Walsh, and you can see another photo in the dark hours of the evening, which gives a totally different perspective. Tomorrow we see the three Kings arriving at the scene. (you can click on each photo to enlarge)
