Noah’s Ark has been a traditional part of Christmas decoration and gift giving. I not only collected Noah’s Ark Christmas ornaments but also have collected as many varieties and renditions of Noah’s story in book form that I could find: from faithful biblical rendering to environmental cautionary tale. Historically a Noah’s Ark set was a way for parents to teach the biblical account while engaging a child’s interest. What child couldn’t spend time imagining what it must have been like with all those animals onboard in the middle of a flooding storm!
Noah and his ark sit on my tree as a reminder that even in very dark times, God’s favor is shown to those who seek Him.
