God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Displaying a Christmas nativity scene is a long-standing tradition, but it can also present a bit of a skewed view of the actual events of Jesus’ birth. While each person depicted in a traditional nativity scene is a part of the Christmas story, not all the characters were present in one place on the night Jesus was born. Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were in a stable that night due to the overcrowding in Bethlehem’s inn (Luke 2:7), but the Bible never mentions whether or not animals were present—in fact, it never even mentions a stable. The shepherds, once told of Jesus’ arrival, left their flocks to worship the newborn King (Luke 2:16). However, the angels, which are often part of nativity scenes, bore the good news to the shepherds in the fields (Luke 2:8–14). As far as we know, there were no angels flying visibly over the place where Jesus was when the shepherds arrived. In addition, the wise men (the Bible never says how many there were) were also probably not present that first night. The magi visited Jesus some time later, when He was in a house (Matthew 2:1–11).

INSTRUCTIONS
Wash apples thoroughly and cut into quarters. Remove seeds and core. Place
apples in a steamer basket and set in a pot containing less than an inch of
water which is boiling. Cover and steam the apples for 10 to 15 minutes or
until very tender. Add more hot water to pot if necessary during the
steaming process. Check apples for proper tenderness with a fork. Remove
pot from heat and allow apples and cooking liquid to cool completely.
Peel cooled apples with a knife and puree in a food processor or pass
apples with skins through a food mill to puree and remove skins. Stir in
reserved cooking liquid to adjust consistency.
