For some reason I kind of like the rock one!!! God loves all creatures. Even Squirrels.I’m still trying to wrap my head around the nativity. So…what if the entire nativity is puppies? Is that offensive? Or entirely cats? (I like cats, too). Or mice or squirrels? Is it only offensive if the Mary and Joseph figures are human but baby Jesus is replaced by a puppy? Is it offensive if Mary and Joseph are portrayed as dogs but baby Jesus is a cat? (so, it’s offensive to have an inter-species nativity?). What if the Holy Family are portrayed as rocks? Do they need to be the same mineral, or can we mix volcanic with granite or igneous?
. It can get pretty silly!
I’m just kidding, of course! To be honest, though, I could have gone my entire life without knowing about the “pooping” nativity figures. I had no idea that existed until SJ’s advent vlog. I was actually pretty shocked by that. I know it’s a centuries old tradition and meant to be humorous, but I found it to be disrespectful myself.
