A Cape Cod artist has created what Axios calls “New England’s newest unlikely holiday sensation: the Lobster nativity scene.” Jesus is depicted as a baby lobster in a bed of seaweed inside a crab shell cradle. The stable is a lobster trap. The other figures are various versions of lobsters as well. Today’s Daily Article looks at the commercialized humor of nativity scenes in light of C. S. Lewis’s famous quote and Walter Isaacson’s new book, The Greatest Sentence Ever Written. Our Savior chose to sacrifice his “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” for us in a form far inferior to his infinite, holy self.
