From the "You Can't Make This Stuff Up" Department". This time from Maine. More pictures at the link.When the baby Jesus figurine went missing from a nativity scene at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church on Chestnut Street in Camden over Christmas, the Rev. John Rafter said he was not interested in trying to search for who did it or why, he just hoped the figure would turn up and be safely returned to the church.
Rafter's prayers were answered Monday afternoon, when the figure was discovered by a passerby among the holiday decorations above Surroundings on Main Street.
Camden resident Maria Bradeen said she was walking along Main Street with her family over the weekend when she noticed something peculiar hiding behind one of the snowman figurines above the Surroundings sign. At the time, she said, she thought it was rather odd, but didn't think much more about it until a friend mentioned Monday morning in passing that the figurine of the baby Jesus had been taken from the manger scene at St. Thomas' Episcopal Church over the Christmas holiday.
Bradeen said she decided to take a drive by the store just to be sure the baby Jesus was still there. "I looked up and said, well my goodness, it is the Christ Child," Bradeen said.
