The story was always already about an impoverished unmarried couple facing a pitiless bureaucracy, having a baby in a barn, and then having to hide from a tyrant. The baby grew up to say that the poor were blessed and the neighbor is he who shows mercy. You can’t hide from the politics of all that.
This year, statues of tall men clad in all black with masks drawn up to hide their faces are disrupting the serenity of a Charlotte church's Nativity scene.
The figures are depicted approaching the Holy Family and the Wise Men with handcuffs as if preparing to make an arrest.

In December 2015, Donald Trump as a presidential candidate called for "a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States." Now 10 years later, a Muslim immigrant will be sworn in as Mayor of New York City. I can't think of a better way of crushing the anti-Muslim bigots than this!
