To mark the UN International Migrants Day (18th December 2020) Folkestone community members staged a Nativity scene with Jesus, Mary and Joseph arriving as refugees onto the harbour Bech in Folkestone, Kent, on the 12th of December 2020. Although they were dressed as Mary and Joseph and appeared to have the baby Jesus with them, they were in fact Rishan and Grmalem, an Ambassador and a Trainee with Kent Refugee Action Network. Both are Christians and refugees from Eritrea. Whilst Jesus was, in fact a doll. (photo by Andy Aitchison)
