I love this!
A modern-day setting of the Nativity. Pictured is a Latinx couple in front of a convenience store, with a motel in the distance.
The man is wearing a shirt with the nametag “Jose”. He is looking through a phone book in front of a pay phone. Scribbled on the side of the pay phone is “Zeke 34 15-16”.
The woman, very obviously pregnant, is sitting on an out-of-order coin-operated riding horse machine.
Between them, growing through a crack in the sidewalk, is a prominent and thriving green seedling plant.
On the window of the store is a sign behind the woman that is partially obscured and could read either “Save Money” or “Ave Maria”. Behind the man is a partially obscured sign that could either read “Elect Jerod de Tipas” or “Collect Herod Antipas”.
In clear view on the window is a cigarette sign with a camel in the desert, saying “Smoke Weisman cigarettes.”
Above the man’s head is an ad for a candy bar called “Good News”.
Above the woman’s head is a sign with a shining star in the center and the words “Starr Bever”.
On the ground is a newspaper with advertisements for Glad and Tide.
The motel in the background is Dave’s City Motel. The sign shows “No Vacancy”, “Fre HBO”, and “New Man ger”.
