Nuclear Jesus

I have passed it many times over the years.... The bizarre glow always catches my eye as I zoom by in my car. Tonight, however, was the night that I actually grabbed the camera and tripod and headed out to the little church. I have always been intrigued by nuclear nativity scenes... I don't know what it is about the soft glow that seems to always be emitting warmth and welcome on cold and frosty winter nights...... I stood with my camera for a long time looking at the glowing faces that silently tell a miraculous story............ I don't actually know how long I stood there before I looked up and noticed that right next to the nativity scene stood another (more gruesome) scene from the life of Christ (that is always located there). The glowing face of the baby was now that of grown and bloodied man who seemed to have compassion and wisdom in His eyes and in his hands. Standing there on the side of the road in the light of the nativity and in the shadow of the cross, I was silently reminded that the story does not end in Bethlehem... and it does not end on the cross.........
