William Kurelek: Paintings from A Northern Nativity

What if Jesus were born in the Canadian North? Or Mary and Joseph had to go to a Depression-era soup kitchen? Would we recognize Him? Would we welcome Him?

(Music is Chris De Burgh's "Nativity")

I love William Kurelek's nativity paintings. Decided to google and see what I could find about them, to show my family. This you-tube presentation with the nativity music is lovely. Thank you for creating it or posting it, whatever.
Have a blessed Christmas.

Well, I didn't put it together--sorry if I wasn't clear about that--I just found it on You-tube.

But I'm glad you enjoyed it anyway.
