Fun Fact: LET ME HOLD THE BABYYYYY!!!
JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. Jewish laws have a lot of stuff about impurities and uncleanliness.  After giving birth, for example, a mother becomes impure for a time (forty days after having a boy, or eighty for a girl).  During this time, the mother can't enter temples (dwelling places of God) or touch anything sacred. 2. In this cartoon, Joseph reads about the above impurity laws from a brochure.  At first, it seems like he's just informing his beloved wife of their religious duties, but in fact, he's only using it to build up an argument of why HE should be the one holding the new Baby Jesus.  After all, if Mary is legally impure, doesn't that mean she can't hold Jesus, since He's sacred?  Of course, by that logic, the manger could be considered a temple, since it's the current dwelling place of God-made-Man, but Joseph wisely avoids arguing this point.

Gee, almost like many Evangelicals have always been a bunch of hypocritical fucks that don’t mean a word of what they say.
Although we should have figured that out when they declared Donald Trump, of all people, their righteous leader.
They will never say a word about the IDF wiping out 2% of Christians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Hot Take: they should make something like one of those miniature nativity scenes but for the Book of Revelation.
Like, with your suffering civillians, human-headed scorpion-locusts, the four-horsemen, those other weird plague-horses, the beast from the sea, the angels with 7 seals and the 7 bowls, Abaddon, the Whore of Babylon, the great Dragon, ect.
It'd probably be hilariously expensive, but I'd buy it...

By DailyCatalan (Instagram, Tiktok):
Here's a collection of the scenes I liked the most from el Pessebre Vivent in Bàscara. This is an example of a "living nativity", a Christmas tradition in Catalonia in which people dress up and pretend to be figurines in the nativity.
Besides making a nativity scene at home with figurines, since the 1950s many towns in Catalonia and Andorra have developed the modern tradition of recreating a nativity scene with people.
It's not the same as a nativity play, because it's not a theatre play. It's a recreation of the nativity scenes. They can be static but sometimes also in movement (for example, the workers represented be actually doing the work instead of being "frozen").
Catalonia has its own older theatre Christmas traditions, most famously the play titled Els pastorets ("The Little Shepherds"), a humorous play about two shepherds traveling to see Baby Jesus' birth while devils try to lead them astray. Els pastorets is played in every town and city, put on by amateur locals, just like the pessebre vivent ("Living nativity scene").

i learned that public nativity scenes are often the victim of baby Jesus theft. Some churches have had to chain their baby Jesus down to deter theft while others have added GPS tracking to their baby Jesus (x)
