"The world being unworthy to receive the Son of God directly from the hands of the Father, He gave His Son to Mary for the world to receive Him from her." (St. Augustine) Each Christmas in the Juniorate House of Studies we dress Baby Jesus in a particular country's traditional clothing, offering prayers and sacrifices for that country throughout the project.

Baby Jesus is dressed in the liturgical clothing of a Coptic Rite priest. Learn more about the Eastern Rite members of our Religious Family in Ukraine and in Egypt (Byzantine and Coptic Rites), watch the 20 minute video: The Catholic Oriental Rite Houses of the Institute of the Incarnate Word. |
