More Than A Decoration

December 16, 2024 by Lena {JOYfilledfamily} Filed Under: Advent, Nativity Leave a Comment

My sons and husband had the honor of putting up a Nativity scene at the CA State Capitol — a beautiful and powerful public witness to the Kingship of Christ.

As Traditional Catholics, we know that Christ is not only the King of our hearts and homes but also the rightful King of society. His reign extends over every government, every law, and every public square, even when the world tries to forget or reject Him.

In a society increasingly hostile to faith and truth, this simple yet profound gesture reminds us that Christ came to save ALL. By publicly proclaiming the mystery of His Incarnation—God made man—we testify that there is no division between faith and the world. Our King desires to reign, not only in churches but in the hearts of nations.

The Nativity isn’t just a decoration; it’s a declaration. It tells a weary world that hope has come, that true peace is found in Christ alone, and that governments and societies flourish when they acknowledge and submit to His rule.

I’m so proud of my boys for embracing this mission. In their hands, hammers and nails became tools to build not just a structure, but a statement of faith. In my husband’s leadership, I see the reflection of St. Joseph—a protector of Christ and His Church, working humbly for the glory of God.

May this Nativity stir hearts, call souls back to Him, and remind all who see it that the Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

May we never cease proclaiming that Christ is King of Kings and Lord of Lords!

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
