In case you missed the purpose, it represents the 7 Works of Mercy. Clothing the naked, burying the dead, visiting the imprisoned, feeding the hungry, giving water to the thirsty, sheltering the homeless, and caring for the sick.
I didn’t miss anything.
It’s a huge distraction to the actual nativity scene.
Well using a porn star model for the clothing the naked is an epic fail. Because using a well fed, well muscled man fully capable of working for food and clothing is stupid.
That naked guy is mighty buff. The artist put him on a parallel plane to the newborn Christ.
Why do you suppose that might be?
Keep in mind that we’ve all seen the Pieta, which shows a partially clothed Christ lying in his mother’s arms.
The naked guy in the nativity scene gives off a totally different vibe—more like the sculptures we see from a Ancient Rome.
The 7 Corporal Works of Mercy should not be mixed in with the Nativity. They are distractions. Bizarre and inappropriate.
> In case you missed the purpose
The assumed purpose. You deny your own humanity, flesh and sin if you don’t understand the point being made by those critical of this display.
There can be another purpose in the hearts of powerful and corrupt men.
And we see it.
You sound like a complete hypocrite.
