Christmas

A large Nativity scene at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Henderson, Nevada with the quote: Newborn Savior, the very silence of your Incarnation proclaims that the answer to the misery, the strife, and the meaninglessness we often experience in life cannot be found within us. You alone are the Answer.—Fr. Peter John Cameron, O.P.
You Alone Are the Answer

Joy to the World with the quote: "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you."—John 15:10-12 (RSVCE)
Your Joy May Be Full

It contains pieces of ancient wood that, according to tradition, were part of the actual manger of Baby Jesus. The crib is presented with the quote: No one, whether shepherd or wise man, can approach God here below except by kneeling before the manger at Bethlehem and adoring him hidden in the weakness of a new-born child.—CCC 563
