Karen Clark Ristine, a senior minister at the Claremont United Methodist
Church, posted on Facebook figures depicting Jesus, Mary and Joseph could be seen placed in
cages in the nativity scene.
Ristine described the Holy Family as “the most well-known refugee family in the world” in the post on Saturday.
“Imagine Joseph and Mary separated at the border and Jesus no older than
two taken from his mother and placed behind the fences of a Border
Patrol detention center,” she continued, adding: “In the Claremont
United Methodist Church nativity scene this Christmas, the Holy Family
takes the place of the thousands of nameless families separated at our
borders.”
