May the peace and simplicity of the child born in the manger greet you this Christmas.
Text inside front:
A Christmas thought about Solentinam, NicaraguaIn the silence of Solentiname interpreted by bird song,Where dignity was born from the womb of simplicity. where justice will come as the fruit of humanity, As justice once came in the birth in a manger.Where daily survival arrives with creativity,With painting on canvas an crafts full of colour,by Elba Jimenez and Rosa Pineda. Just as hope was the song sung by the angels, And humble the way taken by magi May we find the wayt to journey beside them,One the road to justice - on the road to creativity,Straight out of Bethlehem - the gift of simplicty,With all the colour and all of the birdsong, And all of the joy - born in Solentiname Text back of card:
Priest and Poet Ernesto Cardenal built a base community of artists on the Nicaraguan islands of Solentiname. Painter Rosa Pineda is one of the artists living and working in this inspirational setting today.
