Absolutely, moving indeed! Can I copy the picture and send it to others?
As far as I know, but I don't really know. Patrick's hosting it, he removed some captions from it. I don't know the original.
You can find this and more of this kind of paintings at the following site. They have holiday christian greetings. Hobby Lobby

That is a very powerful thought. It does occur to me with my little ones from time to time, that Jesus was a tiny child like they are.
Here's a picture with a similar idea, Dan. It's stuck with me over the years:

Thanks, Chris. I hadn't seen that.
That link's not happy, though.
Folks can find the image HERE, and a write-up HERE.
Notice the Holy Spirit in the window. Now could such a shadow be cast if it were not for the Holy Spirit?
One of those things that really grabs your throat.
Thanks for posting.
