We took a llama and 3 goats to Clear Creek Bible College for their live nativity. No, there was no llama at the birth of Jesus. Llamas are indigineous to South America, not the Middle East. However, it is hard to find a camel in this area, so our llamas "stand in" occasionally. No one seemed to mind. Beatrice was the hit of the evening, but she stood still and quiet during the presentation so as not to steal the show from Jesus.

it's one of those times you just need to improvise ......
ReplyDeleteHow fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love Beatrice (and Princess, also)! I think if there were a llama near Bethlehem a couple thousand years ago, Jesus and Mary would have definitely wanted the llamas to hang around for his birth! Really, what mother doesn't wish for llamas at the time of labor?
