This small Nativity is made from horseshoe nails. The baby has a crown made from a lock washer. I have such mixed feelings about it. It always gives me pause to think; knowing that the Baby Jesus would grow up to be the Savior of the world and be nailed to a cross wearing a crown of thorns, couldn't we let Him be a baby for awhile before reminding him that he will be crucified. When I see the baby holding a cross or having a cross somewhere in the scene just makes me so sad for him and Mary his mother. I am reminded of the song with the line in it. "But tonight He is mine."
