Much of what is on offer conjures Thomas Cranmer’s encouragement in the Book of Common Prayer to “read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest.” Consider one simple element in the nativity scene from the Gospel of Luke (aka Linus’s big speech in “A Charlie Brown Christmas”): the swaddling clothes. Here they are unwrapped to reveal layers of meaning. Some are literal: Greeks, Romans and Jews, we learn, swaddled their young—wrapped their babies tightly in strips of cloth—but not the Spartans. Other meanings are scriptural: In Job, God enwraps the sea, “thick darkness its swaddling band.” Luke’s phrase can also be seen as a comment on pagan myth: Rhea swaddles a stone to trick the infanticidal (tội giết trẻ con) Kronos into swallowing it rather than their child Zeus. Then there are the meanings that refer to salvation: Jesus’ swaddling clothes prefigure his freeing us from death’s winding sheets.
