Some Christmas Cards Don't Show the Correct Story of Jesus' Birth
If you want to know the real story about the birth of Jesus, read what is in the Bible, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. Do not rely on what you see on some Christmas cards. Card companies mix and match scenes surrounding Jesus' birth and put them all on the same card. Some people were not with Jesus when He was a baby in a manger, as is shown on the Nativity scene on some Christmas cards.

William Rotsaert
By Brian D'Ambrosio From Bruges to Santa Fe, a painter translates memory, motion, and myth through color and curiosity. William Rotsaert paints in the language of color — heatwaves and highways, red-orange skies that shimmer with motion, and the flicker of gasoline flames under a 1957 Chevy Bel Air. His canvases pulse between abstraction and realism, fusing the discipline of the old Flemish masters with the freedom of the American West.

A Modern African Tarot
The sixth card in A Modern African Tarot shifts the journey from personal authority to public influence. Where IV EMPEROR represents legacy and leadership, V PASTOR explores spiritual power in the modern age—how faith, charisma, and community converge in one figure.

A Modern African Tarot
Tarot has always been more than cards—it’s a mirror, a guide, a way to tell our stories. For centuries, the decks most people know—like the Rider Waite Smith—have been built on European imagery and symbolism. Castles, knights, biblical archetypes… powerful in their context, but distant for those of us whose roots and rhythms are African. These images speak to a worldview shaped by medieval Europe, but they often feel foreign when held in African hands.
