The St. Susanna Parish near Boston has put a baby Jesus doll
in a black metal cage cut off from the rest of the
scene by a fence in a reference to family separation at the U.S.-Mexico
border.
Father Stephen Josoma hopes the display will stimulate conversation about
immigration in America and draw attention to how immigrants are being
treated.
A sign reading “deportation” points toward the wisemen and is hanging on
the fence separating them from Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus.
“We
thought we would kind of put a mirror image of what it would look like
if this happened 2,000 years ago,” Josoma said. “It’s kind of a mirror
image of where we are at today.”
Last year their nativity scene included 16 signs, each one describing an American mass shooting,
listing how many people were killed at each.
