Oh little town of ... Nazareth?

This year's nativity scene in St. Peter's Square will show the baby Jesus not in the traditional Bethlehem manger but in His father's carpenter shop in Nazareth.

For some reason, the designers decided to use the Gospel of Matthew as their source this time around, rather than the more popular version of the story in Luke.

Could it be that it is a lot easier to get to Nazareth these days?

Does the Wall of Shame separate Nazareth from outsiders, like it does around Bethlehem?
