'Gifts of the Magi' — and Chesney the camel! — at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery

Thursday afternoon saw a production of "Gifts of the Magi" at St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery in 10th Street at Second Avenue ... sponsored by the Henry Street Settlement and Trinity Church Wall Street... 
EVG contributor Stacie Joy stopped by the church before the performance was underway (the festivities began with a parade here from Haven Plaza on 11th Street and Avenue C) ...
Cast member Chesney, a 5-year-old camel from Pennsylvania (here with his trainer Jason Martin of Home School Camels), attracted the most attention... as Stacie said: "Everybody loved Chesney."

Tourist to man by the camel "Does your camel bite?"
Man: "No".
Camel bites tourist.
Tourist: "I thought you said your camel does not bite?"
Man: "That is not my camel."

Groan.

Fact: Saudi Arabia has a serious camel beauty contest each year. Owners go so far as to have plastic surgery preformed on their camel's faces. There's big money in it

January 8, 2022 NY Post: More than 40 camels were booted from a Saudi Arabian beauty pageant after getting administered Botox, hormones and other appearance enhancing techniques. This marks the biggest crackdown in the contest’s history.
