Quotes The central nucleus of a nativity scene calls for a child in swaddling clothes to be placed in a manger, and this must be respected. The most important part of the crib cannot be represented by a boat. I'm not saying a crib cannot be enriched by other elements, and certainly, a boat is a symbol that reminds us of the need for hospitality, but don't forget that Jesus is the saviour of all problems, not just one.

It is a service he is offering at a time of his life when he has the right to rest, and rather than resting he continues to work: thank you, Bishop Vecchi, thank you very much!
