Description
Two young shepherds, a boy and a girl holding hands, approach the manger where the Baby Jesus is sleeping. They are accompanied by five sheep. Jesus sleeps in a manger filled with hay; Mary and Joseph look down upon him with their hands clasped in prayer. A donkey and cow look on from the background. A verse from the Gospel according to Luke is below the illustration. This card was used as a calling card by the Archbishop Anthony Joseph Aneed, a Patriarch in the Byzantine Catholic Church, when he was a parish priest in Milwaukee between 1915 and 1921.
