The Celebration of Christmas T he B irth of C hrist December 24, 2020 - January 5, 2021

The lowly ox and donkey are often part of Nativity depictions, calling attention to the humble setting of Jesus’s birth. But the donkey is also a symbol of kingship (Zech. 9.9), and the ox – a sacrificial animal – represents Christ, the true sacrifice.

The ox knows its owner, and the ass his master’s crib. ~ I saiah 1.3 ~
