Contemplative Corner #297 This Christmas, we offer the two images below – Nativity by Joseph Mulamba-Mandangi (left) and a traditional Byzantine icon (right) – for your gazing. How does each add meaning to your celebration of Christmas? Do these images awaken anything in you that words do not? What unique perspectives does each image offer, and what is gained by beholding the two images together? May the peace of Christ be born anew in you, today and every day!
