Everett’s Christmas Card

-=< O >=-

Here’s a
fun one for the
Christmas Season

Everett
Patterson
created a
Christmas
Card
in
2014
that’s like a
picture puzzle.

He says,

The main goal
of this illustration
was to pack as many
biblical references
into the scene
as possible
.

Look at
the picture below
and count how many
Christmas Themes
you see

(He says there are
at least a dozen)

SPOILER
ALERT
:

I want to list
as many as I can
find, so don’t scroll
past the picture
until you have
looked at it
yourself,
ok
?

Jose’ y
Maria

FINAL
SPOILER
ALERT
!!!

-=< O >=-

Here’s what
I see
:

Mary:
riding on a donkey &
Nazareth sweatshirt &
Graffiti at her feet says,
“Word (became) Flesh”

Joseph:
shirt says “Jose”

Window:
“Wise Man”
cigarette poster
“Good News” poster
dove with olive branch sticker
halo shapes around each head
halo looks like “Ave Maria”
“Re-Elect Herod Antipas”?
Star above Mary’s head

Phone:
Graffiti Ezekiel 34:15-16
Sticker could be “Gloria”?

Newspaper:
Shepherd’s watch ad
“Glad” Tidings ads

Motel:
Dave’s City
(city of David)
&
No Vacancy
(no room in the
inn, but there’s a
NEW MANGER!)

and maybe, as a BONUS:
the new green life growing?
Is that the shoot of Jesse, or
am I imagining too much?

Well, that was fun!

Thank You,
Mr. Patterson

Here’s the
scripture reference
from the phone
number
:

I myself will
tend my sheep
and have them
lie down, declares
the Sovereign LORD. 
I will search for the
lost and bring back
the strays. I will
bind up the
injured
and strengthen
the weak, but the
sleek and the strong
I will destroy. I will
shepherd the flock
with justice
. 

EZEKIEL 34:15-16
