Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

If your neighborhood is like mine, there have been lots of Christmas decorations lighting up the night these past few weeks. And if your neighborhood is like mine, then among those decorations have been some rather large inflatable figures. And if your neighborhood is like mine, those figures now lie dead on the ground, all the air, all the spirit, taken out of them. But if you had been in Jerusalem, right after that first Christmas, you would have seen the exact opposite happening! On that day, not a great deflating, but a great inflating took place!
