This album is all
about my Christmas crib for the year 2016. I have created this crib on the
theme: "I am the Resurrection and the Life."
I have shown the
birth of our Lord Jesus in the tomb, signifying HIS dual nature- "I am the
resurrection and the life." A further attempt is made in showing HIS
second coming- "Christ has died; Christ is risen, Christ will come again."
Life is resurrected-
life is born.
Each element of the
crib has a deeper meaning. Therefore, I request you to read the description of
the crib as you admire its spiritual beauty.

| Christmas Crib' 2016 |
Theme: I am
the Resurrection and the Life
Preface: I have shown the birth of our Lord
Jesus in the tomb, signifying HIS dual nature- "I am the resurrection and
the life." A further attempt is made in showing HIS second coming-
"Christ has died; Christ is risen, Christ will come again." Life is resurrected- life is born.
- The tomb: The tomb is shown in white,
signifying HIS divinity; His resurrection and HIS humble birth- here, the
victorious Christ is resurrected to new life. Furthermore, I have shown
HIS birth in the tomb signifying HIS second coming at the end of time.
("Christ has died; Christ is risen, Christ will
come again.")
- Heart and
the Star: Christ( the love of God) is born to give
new life to the world. Star- the symbol of HIS birth. The green color is
symbolic of new life; peace; something that is alive; something that is
growing. Furthermore, the green color alludes to green wood- symbolic of
Christ' innocence- ("For if people do these things when the tree is
green, what will happen when it is dry?") [ Luke23:31 ]
- Tombstone: The tombstone is symbolic
of the world- putting an end to the
'love of Christ'- but, Love conquers all; defeats death and sin- breaks
open every barrier.
- Palm leaves: 2000 years ago, people
welcomed Christ as a Prophet- in present age, people are gradually coming
to believe in HIM and accept HIM as the 'Messiah'. Palm leaf symbolizes
welcome; rejoicing. ("Blessed
is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!") [ Luke 19:38] [Mat 23:39]
5. Vine offshoot:
The vine sprig sprouting from the tomb is symbolic of Christ- the source of
life- giving new life to the world. ("I am the vine;
you are the branches.) [ John 15:5 ]. Christ is the vine in whom our life
should be deeply rooted.
Our Faith ( in
resurrected Christ) begins here (in the tomb)- "And if Christ has not been raised, our
preaching is useless and so is your faith." [ 1Corinthians 15:14 ]
