Christmas scenes from the village

Living the village life around the holidays always makes me feel like I'm living the Christmas story I only saw in picture books growing up. Although the Armenians celebrate on January 6th with not nearly the fanfare of Western society, I feel a closer connection to the nativity story here than at the store sales and zoo lights of America.

Our manger. Where the cattle are lowing.



The shepherd and his sheep.

There is a feeling of solemnity to these. Certainly more what we should all be experiencing at Christmas then the sales at Walmart.
