Advent and Christmas are special for Franciscans. This year, we celebrate the 800th anniversary of Francis’ live reenactment of Jesus’ birth. Since Francis’ 1223 Christmas in the Italian village of Greccio, nativity scenes (live and in art) have continued because God who is Love was born as a baby, God among us. This recipe for Bambino Bread is a simple way to honor the Baby Jesus on your table as a loaf of bread, shaped to resemble a baby in swaddling clothes!
