Wise men memes that upset Xians

[sister_raphael]

Whilst I have had a lot of fun with the Wise Men Memes, I was a little mindful that not everyone feels that religion should be used for memes, and I am legitimately surprised that I didn't have a mob of angry Christians commenting on this one.

1470, Jean de Wavrin, Flanders. Walters Art Gallery Manuscript W267, folio 65r, for those of you playing at home.

I'm a Quaker (with a 17th century historian you might have known) and it doesn't make me angry. :o)

I'm glad. It's meant to be lightly humerous.

Not a good Christian here, obviously. I immediately started looking for the fabric, then trying to figure out where it was hidden. Took me a while to realize the animals were eating down to where it was. Clearly, I thought there was too much additional swag (those fancy clothes, the crowns, the gold, frankincense and myrrh in precious containers!) to worry about whatever Mary might have hidden.

They do seem a bit overdressed, don't they?
