Alpo Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 When I first saw this I thought - meh - but then I looked at it some more. Sweet Baby Jesus is a beer. Specifically it's a porter. You have the three wise men, along with their camels. If I remember correctly from Sunday School, one of the three wise men was black, and as you see one of the bottles is Black Label. Although I thought one of the wise men was Oriental, so Bourbon and Tennessee whiskey seem to have missed slightly. A bottle of Jose Cuervo - Jose is the Spanish version of Joseph. Then we have this other bottle at the head of the manger next to Jose. Logic says it would be Mary, but I neither recognize the shape of the bottle, nor can think of a booze called Mary. A little help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-BAR #18287 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The mystery bottle resembles the bottles that contain Benedictine DOM, but the "Mary" is obscure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Knew a girl once whose name was Mary....and she was a boozer. That's as close as I can come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 We don't know the number of the Magi, no number is given in Scripture. Nor are the names, place of origin, race, or how long after the Nativity they arrived. The number three is associated with the gifts given, as well as the Trinitarian aspect. Some Eastern Christians put the number at 12, which also has mystic significance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 1 hour ago, Subdeacon Joe said: or how long after the Nativity they arrived. I thought they showed up on the 6th of January - Twelfth Night. In Puerto Rico the tree is left up until then. And when the children go to bed they leave out grass and water for the wise men's camels. And they get one present. No matter how many presents they might have got for Christmas, they get one more for Twelfth Night. I don't know if this was strictly with my son-in-law's family's tradition, or if everyone does it, but he said the present has something to do with traveling. Like an RC car or something.

In Puerto Rico the tree is left up until then. In most of Europe people leave, or did leave, their decorations up until Theophany. Some hold that the Christmas season doesn't end until Candlemas (Presentation of Our Lord in the Temple), 40 days after the Nativity, and leave decorations up until then. There are several people around here that seem to keep to that as it's the same half dozen houses that don't put their trees out for recycling until then. We leave ours up until Theophany.

Lone Spur Jake SASS #7728 Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 When we, am referring to the "Boomers" like me, was growing up, we loved everything we saw in stores, on TV, in movies, etc., and what our parents taught us about the Christmas season. Had nothing to do about who was Catholic, Lutheran, Presbyterian, etc., it was about Santa Claus and the birth of Jesus. It was about family getting together and enjoying each others company. My how the world we live in has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpo Posted December 23, 2023 Author Share Posted December 23, 2023 I believe you are right. If I blow the picture up as much as I can, while I still can't read the label, the name on the label appears to be the same font as is on the bottle you posted. Thank you sir.
