The nativity according to the gospel of Mari




Most bible scholars agree that most nativity scenes or creches are greatly inaccurate. While we may not know if Jesus was born in a cave or a stable, if animals were present or out grazing, how long it took the wise men to show up and how many wise men there were, I am 99.9% positive that there were no giant rubber duckies present. Also I am fairly certain Jesus mother Mari did not get squished ala Wizard of Oz style, but our Mari has her own interpretation of events. It was funny hearing Jake tell her that wasn't were things went as I can clearly remember (and I believe there are picture in the blog archives) of him doing the same thing!
