I have been given a very sweet book titled "Mary's Treasure Box" by
Carolyn Walz Kramlich.
In the book Mary is a grandmother and shares with her granddaughter a
"treasure box".
The box was crafted by Jesus when he was a boy. Inside the box are
keepsakes from the night of his birth ie: straw, swaddling cloth,
wool, flute, gold, frankincense & myrrh. As each is removed the box Mary
tells the meaning of the item.
Someone will sing "Mary Did You Know"
Then I have an older woman "grandma" who will read the story while a
young "granddaughter" removes the items from a treasure box I have. I
will close with some thoughts taken from the following articles: "Mary
and Joseph", New Era, December 2006 "The Message: Christ the Savior Is
Born", New Era, December 2006 "His Gift to the World", New Era, December
2002
We gave each of the girls a charm bracelet, or king ring, at YWIE so our
gift to them will be a charm of the baby Jesus.
