The camel is here for the live nativity at St. Brigid-St. Emeric on Avenue B at East Eighth Street.
Per the church's website: "Living Nativity for Children … Show only at 4 pm; Show & Mass at 8 pm."
A quick update!

Man! Last time I saw something like that was at one of those old live peepshow booths on 42nd street.

ReplyDeletepoor camel
ReplyDeletePoor camel indeed.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but is a live camel really necessary?
ReplyDeleteI don't like religion either.
ReplyDeleteWhat if a camel shits in a church? Is it excommunicated?
ReplyDeleteThere aren't many acting gigs for camels these days so lucky him or her! Back to the day job next week.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for this poor camel. Is it really necessary to drag him into the city and make him stand in a church? What would Jesus say?
ReplyDeleteJesus doesn't endorse animal cruelty; doesn't matter if the camel is in or outside the church—it's just not necessary.
ReplyDeleteDo they also have burros and elephants for this show? Palm trees?
I don't think God made camels for cold North American cities where they would play a bit role in a church festivity. I don't like it. It's cute though. But it is not amusing.
ReplyDeleteGod didn't make 50+ working dogs to spend 8-10 hours a day alone in a cramped NYC apartment either. Why not spend a little time on your high horses railing about that.
ReplyDelete"Palm trees?"
ReplyDeleteYes Scuba, there are always palm trees, but they are artificial.

[look it up]
He was a very very nice and tolerant and friendly camel. There was also a donkey and this weird ox/cow/humpback thing from India. Was pretty cool and great for the kids. The owners of the camel gave it lots of love. It grew up in a petting zoo so it's used to the kids touches and what not.
