Nativity scene are designed to en-
phasize the fact that while it was an
epoch-making event it took place
among the scenes of ordinary life and
belonged essentially to mankind. One
of these Tyrolean cribs, in the
museum for Austrian folk study in
Vienna, contains no less than 256 hui
man and 154 animal figures, while the
number of buildings shown amounts
to twenty-four.
In addition to the Nativity scene,
however, other events connected with
the earthly mission OF the Saviour are
depicted in similar manner by means
of figures and appropriate surrounds
ings. Among these may be mentioned
the announcement of the Saviour
Egypt, the murder of the innocents,
the twelve-year-old Jesus arguing with
the doctors in the temple, the wedding
at Cana in Galilee, etc. The crib is
thus in measure connected with the
old time miracle play that played an
important part in ecclesiastical teach
ings.
In a Tyrolean crib the makeshift
character of the accommodations al
the place of the Saviours birth is in
full evidence The costumes of the
adoring shepherds also display a de
sire to attain higher degree OF
realism than many of these groups
display.
Notably dramatic is a group in the
Sicilian division of the Munich collec
ton, depicting the massacre of the in
nocents conducted under the order OF
Herod. The savagery of the soldiers
and the appealing agony of the moth
ers are shown in this group, which
always attracts.
A close examination of any of the
more elaborate cribs will impress the
observer with the fact that an infinite
amount of patience and skill was
called for in imparting the proper
pose to the innumerable little figures
so that they would naturally simulate
the action represented. Whether
ascending or descending stairs, climb
ing or mounted on rocks, perched on
balustrades, peeping from doors and
windows, they are alike natural. The
surroundings are maryelously true to
detail. Every class of building is
shown, daily occupations are in full
progress, the idea being to exemplify
how Christ comes to the people.
From the historical standpoint
these cribs are notably interesting and
valuable, and their careful study will
prove an aid to the student of history
especially the history of the people
showing, as they do, the habits and
customs of the period of their origin
with absolute fidelity. The costumes
of the figures are equally worthy OF
observation.
That much Importance was attached
to these groups in the past is demon
strated by the number of cribs and
parts of cribs preserved in public and
private collections. Other notable
cribs are in the San MARITIME Museum
at Naples and the Riednigen collec
ton.

CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN.

If only we could roll the clouds
away and look into the kingdom of
God, what an ineffable scene of bliss
would we gaze on at Christmas, when
the birthday of Christ is celebrated!
Imagine the splendor of the place,
the light, the music! Behold all the
actors OF the event on earth-JesuS,
Mary, Joseph, Gabriel, the angels of
the choir, the shepherds, the three
kings, Zachary and Anna, John the
Baptist, and all the other blessed who
were concerned in the mystery of the
Incarnation. Behold, too, all others
of the millions and millions in para
disc.
Who can think how they COM
memorate the occasion? Joy is on
every countenance. Rapture is in
every heart. Praise and thanksgiving
are in every creatures mouth. Surely
Christmas in heaven must be day of
unalloyed delight.

THE INFANT JESUS.


Dear Little One! How sweet Thou
art,
Thine eyes how bright they shine
So bright they almost seem to speak,
When Mary's look meets Thine.
When Joseph takes Thee in his arms
And smooths Thy little cheek,
Thou lookest up into his face,
So helpless and so meek.
Yes, Thou art what Thou seemed to
be,
A child of smiles and tears;
Yet Thou art God, and heaven and
earth
Adore Thee with their fears.

o Child of beauty rare,
o mother chaste and fair
How happy seemed they both, so fair
beyond compare!
She in her Infant blest,
And He in conscious rest,
Nesting within the soft, warm cradle

What joy that sight might bear
To him who sees them there,
If, with a pure and quiet untroublcl

THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY

In the Holy Land at the Christmas
season the place of greatest interest
is naturally the Church of the Nativity
at Bethlehem, erected on the spot
where Christ was born. 1t is said to
be the oldest Christian church in
existence, having been built more
than fifteen centuries ago by st.
Helena, mother of Constantine the
Great. Repairs were made later by
Edward ", of England. The roof was
originally composed of cedar of
Lebanon, and the walls were studded
with precious jewels, while many
lamps of silver and gold were sus-
pended from the rafters. Immediately
beneath the nave of the church is a
commodious marble chamber, con-
structed over the spot where the
manger is said to have stood, and
reached by a flight of stone steps,
worn smooth by the tread and kisses
of multitudes of pilgrims. The manger
is represented by marble slab a
couple OF feet in height, marked at the
head with a chiseled star, bearing
above it the inscription in Latin,
Here was Jesus Christ born of the
Virgin Mary" At the foot are several
affairs, where Mass is celebrated daily,
while score of hanging lamps shed
a 1itful light over the apartment.
