Christ, born in a stable, amongst the filth and stink. Not a very noble
start. Pretty much homeless. Today, we clean up all the pictures and
manger scenes. After all. The wise men are always portrayed as good
looking in the Christmas nativity scenes and plays. They would have
probably been pretty rough looking and stinky. The swaddling clothes was
probably strips of a gunny sack. Used. No one likes to think of Christ
in this manner. It doesn't fit. We like the clean-cut version. I have
always thought that if one were to take the life of Christ seriously,
and use him as a role model, you would definitely get your hands and
clothes dirty.
