Statues #TBT

St. Mark Youth 1963
Scripture: Luke 2:7

The entrance to the subdivision where I lived was decorated for the Holiday Season with a life-sized creche and appropriate spot lights.

One evening I came home after dark and after driving past the display realized the figures were gone.  The next day the figures were back.  Again the statures disappeared and the bales of hay were scattered.

On Christmas Eve life-sized statures stood in place.  Young people from the Youth Fellowship of the church in the subdivision took turns standing motionless as characters of the nativity.
