  1. Seems like they try to ditch Christmas, le thw person who was responsible isnt christian. I’m atheist but that’s what it looks like

  2. This is shìte- further proof the the UK has completely lost it.

  3. That’s so weird. I’ve never seen it before and I can barely find anything about it online but apparently it was created in 2005 by Japanese-American artist Tomoako Suzuki commissioned by the church St Martin in the Fields (the one on Trafalgar Square) and it has been on the square EVERY YEAR for the past 20 years.

    > When marauding rugby fans celebrating England’s World Cup victory last year trampled the venerable Christmas crib that had stood outside St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square every December for 40 years, the church decided to turn its small disaster into an opportunity and organise a competition for a replacement.

  4. The scale of the characters makes me laugh. Baby Jesus is fucking massive

  5. Looks like the other person, the one who kept saying “don’t worry I will have my part of the nativity done in time” was not, in fact, done in time.

  6. It looks like some sort of Jesus baseball game.

  7. why is jesus so alone?? it just looks like someone left their baby on the ground and everyone is like “whose baby is this”

  8. Was a pandemic on during Bethlehem at that time? Why are they social distancing?

  9. It’s actually pretty accurate – people were a lot smaller back then

  10. There is all sort of wrong with this starting with the ethnicities alone, there is the whitest of white baby Jesus, and random kneeling woman looks like she just got off the train from her commute from Hertfordshire, is that meant to be Mary? Because she recovered quickly after giving birth.

    And why is baby white jesus on the floor with all the sheep shit?

    Also are the guys on the left supposed to be the three kings (magi)? or two of them, as they look African, but the Magi were most likely intended to be from the Parthian Empire (i.e. Iran).

    And why is that bloke laying down like that? in the sheep shit

    Load of arse, I am not even a Christian but if going to portray a scene from their religion at least get it right and do it decently.

  11. Lil baby Jesus there, left on his own to roll around in the dirt,

    like Earthworm Tim…. just a bad example to portray

  12. To quote my kid, “the Christmas Tree actually looks cool and people should stop complaining… what is that and why is it a crap Nativity scene?”

    Joseph lying down doing fuck all is particularly bizarre. I hope Mary throws some dung at him.

  13. Looks like the guy in the green fell off his chaise lounge.
