I am enjoying looking through medieval nativity scenes. They are often hilarious. Here is one of Mary, her attendants and Joseph benevolently watching as baby Jesus levitates onto the bed.

This may turn into a thread!

This is a terrifying scene in which two demons have stolen baby Jesus and are keeping him hostage on top of a pole. Mary has had enough of everyone's shenanigans, however.

It is unfortunate when a chicken falls on you from the sky. But that's life.
