My Christmas crib' 2024_video

 

A short video presentation of my Christmas crib' 2024.

Once again, I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year 2025. 

Christmas theme:

I am the light of the world.

Description:

Candle: A candle symbolizes light and hope. Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, is the living light and a living hope for those who dwell in the darkness of unbelief.

Heart: The heart symbolizes the love of our Lord Jesus. Jesus Christ came into this world out of love, offering Himself as a sacrifice for the salvation of humanity. Joseph and Mary also participated in this divine mission with love, faithfully fulfilling God's holy will.

White melted wax: The white melted wax symbolizes the grace and mercy of our Lord Jesus, flowing abundantly over the unbelieving world.

Red melted wax: The red melted wax flowing from the heart represents the suffering and sacrifice—the blood poured out in love for the atonement of the sins of the unbelieving world.

Star: The star symbolizes the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. He is the guiding star that led the wise men to find Him. He continues to be the guiding star that illuminates our path through the darkness of an unbelieving world, leading us safely to eternal salvation.

In the Christmas nativity scene, the emphasis is placed primarily on the infant Jesus. The roles of Joseph and Mary are somewhat subdued, reflecting the sentiment expressed in John 3:30: "He must increase, but I must decrease," akin to the role of St. John the Baptist.

Wish you Merry Christmas and a Blessed New year 2025.

Jesus came into this world

 

Christmas crib' 2023_video

 

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.

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.

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.

Christmas Crib' 2017 album

This Christmas crib is based on the theme: God is Love– God is life.

Every element in the crib has a symbolic meaning, so please kindly care to read the description.

 I thank God for helping me to complete the crib beautifully. The process of creating this crib was a challenge to me– especially, the lighting of the Cross and the individual hearts– but God helped me.

I pray, God Bless your life and strengthen your faith in HIM.

The green colour specifically refers to Jesus Christ. "For if this is what is done to green wood, what will be done when the wood is dry?" (Luke 23:31). Here green is symbolic of HIS innocence.

5. The central red heart is symbolic of Christ’s sufferings; HIS death on the cross for our salvation.

6. The vine twigs with three leaves symbolizes Holy Trinity– the Divinity of Christ.

8. The seven stepped ladder of Kingdom values (Humility; Faith; Mercy; Forgiveness; Understanding; Gentleness and Love) is symbolic of the ‘way of perfection’ leading to Christ. Each step brings us closer to God.

9. The red patch of blood on the white heart is symbolic of suffering– being a part of Christian life.
