Family recalls travels of baby Jesus statue

BUFFALO, N.Y. - This Christmas, a family here may keep a closer eye on their statue of baby Jesus. Last year someone plucked it from the nativity scene in their front yard and spent eight months traveling the state, returning it complete with plenty of photos of where it had been.

“When we tell people about it, they just look at us and say, ‘Wow, that really happened?’ ” Joan Leising said. “Then, we show them the photo album.”

The statue was taken Dec. 23, and a note - promising to return the baby Jesus in three days - was left in the statue’s place.
