This wonderful wooden carved scene comes from Togo, and was created by an artist called Roger J Bawi.

'A Musical Welcome' reflects local culture, where a whole village will turn out to welcome a new baby. Drums, a horn and a flute supply merry music.  A poet/herald called a 'griot' who carries a rattle welcomes the baby.

In this depiction, the magi's hats mark them out as strangers or visitors.

Music and community - sounds a little bit like the aspirations of many churches.  Hmm!
