I came across this in A Celtic Christmas: Celebrating the Sacred in All Creation by Mary Earle


In every Welsh nativity scene,
a washerwoman accompanies
Mary, Joseph and Jesus at the manger.
For the Welsh tradition, if Jesus isn’t born daily into the common household, then there’s really no point of celebrating
the birth at Bethlehem.

Compassion is the sometimes fatal capacity for feeling what it is like inside somebody else's skin. It is the knowledge that there can never really be any peace and joy for me until there is peace and joy finally for you too.
- Frederick Buechner



If society prospers at the expense of the intangibles,
how can it be called progress?

Ah, I like that. And how true - its the fact that Jesus was born into a common household that makes Him so approachable.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."
