Parkside Community Church​ has been in the south Land Park neighborhood more than 60 years -- but a new display is drawing curiosity and double takes. The figures are typically seen during Christmas celebrations. They often represent the baby Jesus and his parents Mary and Joseph. However, the caged nativity scene at Parkside Community Church is meant to represent something else. “The story of the nativity is often thought of as kind of this gentle, mild, cute story -- and yet, it really is about a family fleeing violence and seeking refuge in a country that was not their own homeland," co-Pastor Rev. Bonnie Rambob said. "This is to show: what if the Holy Family met a similar policy when they came to Egypt."
