St. Carlo Acutis's Eucharistic Christmas crib' 2025_video

 

Introduction:

Every Christmas, I reflect on the scriptural story of Jesus’ life. This year, I created the Christmas crib inspired by the words of St. Carlo Acutis: “The Holy Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.”

Each element of this crib conveys a specific meaning.

As always, I have used simple materials like paper and cardboard to create this crib from scratch.

I thank God for guiding me in creating this Christmas crib to HIS honor, throughout the entire design and creation process.

Christmas theme: 

"The Holy Eucharist is my highway to Heaven.” — St. Carlo Acutis. 

Description:

The Holy Eucharist with angelic wings symbolizes Heaven. 

The red cross symbolizes the sufferings of Christ. 

The birth of Christ is a joy for us. Yet the life of Christ reminds us that a life of love is also accompanied by suffering.

The yellow chalice adorned with white stars symbolizes the cup of glorious salvation. The stars represent Christ, born for our salvation. Through this cup, Christ’s sufferings and HIS blood are poured out for us, bringing salvation to the world.

The base of the chalice is fashioned in the form of a ladder, signifying the ascent through trials toward salvation.

The red ladder symbolizes the difficulties and sufferings of this life.

The Eucharistic ladder symbolizes how the Holy Eucharist helps us ascend to our eternal home through the path of suffering. It is the Eucharist that strengthens our faith and hope, guiding us to persevere throughout the journey of life.

The living Bread that came down from Heaven lifts us toward Heaven.

Through this Eucharistic ladder, graces descend from Heaven to earth.

Like Jacob’s ladder, where angels ascend and descend, our prayers and supplications rise upward, while God’s blessings and graces are poured down upon the earth.

The twig with green leaves symbolizes life in Christ. The Holy Eucharist keeps us alive in faith, hope, and love, even amid the difficulties and sufferings of life. It renews our strength and helps us persevere in Christ until we reach our eternal home.

Wish you Merry Christmas 

                and a 

Blessed New year 2026.

May the faithful love of Jesus Christ live in our heart and our life — forever.

The joy of Christmas

 

2000 years ago, all the inns were full

 

Jesus came into this world

 

Christmas crib' 2023

 

Every Christmas, I focus on the scriptural aspect of Jesus' life.  This year I created the Christmas crib on the theme: "I am the way, the truth, and the life." [John 14:6]

I have created this crib in a logo style, where each element reflects a facet of this powerful verse, guiding viewers on a spiritual journey.

The process of designing, creating, and rectifying errors in certain intricate sections of the crib consumed a duration of a month and a half.

Every year as I embark on this faith journey through Christmas crib creation, I feel God's grace guiding my hands, and igniting my artistic spirit.

For this divine help, I am eternally grateful to God.

Christmas theme:

I am the way, the truth, and the life.

Description:

Black terrain: Black terrain smeared with blood is symbolic of the sinful world.

Bible: The word of God is the way that brings us on the path of faith in God, and to the realization of the living Truth — Jesus Christ. The green cover is symbolic of the life-giving word — which brings us to new life in Christ.

Ladder: The green (symbolic of growth) ladder is founded on the word of God, and it helps us to progress through difficulties and sufferings of life and leads us to Jesus. The winding path is symbolic of the testing of our faith.

Green twigs: The twigs under the ladder are symbolic of the liveliness of the path of God.

Thorns: Black thorns symbolize difficulties; sufferings; temptations; distractions — to lead us away from the path of eternal life.

Heart: The living truth (Jesus Christ) — white heart symbolizes purity; divinity; Holiness; life in Jesus Christ. It is the life in Jesus Christ that renews us — makes us pure and Holy.

Cross: Red cross symbolizes suffering in Jesus Christ. The life of love in Jesus Christ will have hardship, but eventually lead us to Glory. 

Star: star is symbolic of Eternal life; Glory in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ condescended for our salvation, leaving HIS glory, and suffered for our salvation — to bring us to new life. HE is the only one who will take us along the same path — from suffering to Glory, in Heaven.

Wish you Merry Christmas and a Blessed New year 2024.

May the faithful love of Jesus Christ live in our heart and our life — forever.
