Vatican Nativity scene with Palestinian keffiyeh causes a stir
|
[CruxNow] ROME -- In the wake of global controversy over a Nativity scene displayed at the Vatican showing the infant Jesus resting upon a Palestinian keffiyeh, widely seen as a pro-Palestinian statement, that set has now been removed.
The Nativity, designed by two artists from the Dar al-Kalima University in Bethlehem, was described by the Palestine Chronicle as "a poignant nod to the Palestinian struggle," yet received blowback from the Israeli and Jewish communities.
Referring to Jesus's own historical Jewish roots, having been born to Jewish parents in what was then the Roman province of Judea, one online commentator wrote, "Does the pope think Jesus wasn't a Jew either? Did he even read the Bible?"
The only way the attached image could have been even less appropriate was to put the image of the Christ Child in an oven.
