Origami Trip to Bethlehem
You are almost there - less than three weeks left until the birth of your precious baby! Then you hear the news: you must travel with your husband more than seventy miles, from your home to the town of Bethlehem to pay your taxes. No reprieve for your physical condition, or the fact that the child you are carrying is the most important and sacred baby ever to be born on this earth. Luckily you have a sweet and gentle donkey available to carry you. In origami, we'll represent the three iconic characters of this story with simple, elegant folds typical of classic origami designed by modern origami artist Barbara Furmanowicz. If this story is an important part of your Christmas celebration, you'll enjoy making this threesome to add to your collection of nativity sets or enjoy giving a set to favorite friends and relatives. You'll make a donkey, a lovely model of Mary designed to sit atop the donkey, and a model of Joseph to lead the donkey. Printed instructions and origami paper provided.
