Description:
A natural paradise of trees, stars, and flowers protectively surrounds the sleeping child Jesus. While his humanity is dormant, his divinity cannot be suppressed. His robe is made of gold rays of light, and a gold halo crowns his sleeping head. Inside are inscribed three Greek letters representing the phrase "I Am Who Am.” This powerless sleeping infant is the same omnipotent invisible God who revealed His name to Moses.
