A Humble
Praise
Johnny
Coveña
Ecuador
This is a Tagua
crèche, made of the seed of Tagua palm trees. Tagua is also called “vegetal
ivory.” This nativity features mostly animals living in Ecuador and the
Galapagos. The tableau is brimming over with the life of creation gathering a
great many of its representatives: animals of the deep blue, inhabitants of the
earth, and creatures of the air. Jesus has come to gather the whole of creation.
Lord of creation, he remains inconspicuous amid his creatures. Why? Incarnation
is an act of humility on the part of God hailed with the humble praise of his
little creatures. |
