- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

I’m an Episcopal priest. At a parish I served in some years back, we had a custom of giving kids animals from the nativity scene to carry in procession and place around the manger at the Christmas Eve service. I would be at the end of the procession to place the Christ child in the manger and then cense the scene before saying the opening prayers. I do so and happen to catch something out of the ordinary: a tiny rubber dinosaur has somehow made it into Bethlehem. So I start the service by noting this and the church has a good chuckle.
No one ever fessed to putting in there, but it became a fixture in the parish’s nativity scene from then on (with kids occasionally clamoring to be the one to carry the dinosaur in the procession).
I always see it as T-rexes with a table saw lol

My toddler took a bowl and a wooden spoon and made "nativity soup" this morning. The true trinity of the bowl, the spoon, and the holy broth.
All Glory to the Hypnotoad!
EDIT: Does anybody know how to format image links here using Voyager on Firefox?
For almost anything on lemmy, just look up how to do it in markdown and you'll get your answer. (Note that I said "almost.")
This isn't browser specific, but if you type
...it works. Just make sure your url is a direct link to the image, not a webpage that has anything else on it.
