Palestinian Christmas creche–the photo

In this December 24 post I wrote a bit about how, when I saw how “Christmas” was being widely represented in beijing, it forced me to think more about my own relationship with the Christmas story and Christian belief in general.
I also wrote about the lovely, hand-embroidered set of Christmas figures the Director of the (Palestinian) East Jerusalem YWCA gave our family many years ago. (Hey, it was good post. I hope you read it!)
But I also promised to try to take some pics of the Christmas figures. Here is a picture of the whole creche scene. Mary, Joseph, and babe in the middle. At the left, 3 shepherds in front, 3 Wise Men behind. On the right, 4 Wise Women. Yay for the YWCA!!!
The original photo was by expert photographer and spouse extraordinaire, Bill. (Thanks!) I did a bit of color re-balancing (?) Then I thought it would be good to make the pics come as Popup Images rather than Embedded Images. Do readers have a preference?
