Bringing the Italian tradition to Nebraska, we've enjoyed the Bless the Baby Jesus ceremony at the cathedral for the last few years. Many friends come with their small children & bring along the baby Jesus from their Nativity scene to be blest by the Bishop. It was so nice!
We were able to meet with him afterwards & have some cookies with our friends. We brought a trunkload of donations for Birthright in from the families there to donate as well. What a fun Advent tradition. Thanks for organizing, Emily!
Every year I think I want to remember this for next year, what a neat tradition.
