St. Francis Christmas Gifts

A FRANCISCAN CHRISTMAS
The true meaning of Christmas isn't found in the glitter and gifts. It's not on the tree or tucked under it. It won't be served with the cookies and eggnog. But it can be found in a place of honor in most Christian homes: the Christmas manager scene.
Francis of Assisi first recreated the scene of the Nativity nearly 800 years ago, and it has endured as a favorite holiday tradition. Each piece of the Nativity has its own story and meaning in Franciscan history and Christian spirituality. Take a closer look at the crèche and learn why Christmas is central to Franciscan spirituality and how you can find a deeper meaning in the simplest of seasonal decorations. By Kathleen M. Carroll, managing editor of books at St. Anthony Messenger Press, with a foreword by Jack Wintz, O.F.M., author of Will I See My Dog in Heaven? Paperback, 144 pages.
