The Hands that First Held Mary's ChildDan
Forrest. An incredible text tells the extraordinary
story of a Child, whose journey begins in Bethlehem,
with the weathered hands of a carpenter holding
his newborn son. "The hands that first held Mary's
child were hard from working wood. From boards
they sawed and planed and filed and splinters they
withstood. This day they gripped no tool of steel,
they drove no iron nail, but cradled from the head
to heel our Lord, newborn and frail."
