Catholic Bishop of Banjul His Lordship Most Reverend Patrick Ellison
VOL:1 ISSN: 38 A. A few years ago, I received a Christmas card from Malawi. It was a picture of five young children (6-8 years old) standing in front of a Crib, fascination on their faces as they gazed at the various images: a baby, a mother, a father, a cow, an ox, shepherds with sheep on their shoulders….Small light twinkling like stars in the sky and in the background a town on a hill – Bethlehem. Their eyes were fixed in deep thought-full of surprise, wonder and curiosity. It seemed as if they were in a trance, totally immersed in the world of that crib and apparently detached from the actual world in which they were standing. You would love to know what was going on in their little minds – trying to figure out the very strange circumstance in which this poor baby was born.
