Hi Judy,
You are right! Also during the Renaissance (Italian art) Mary was
always shown holding, and sometimes nursing, her baby. The "away in
a manger" scenario goes back only to the 1800s and was very
Victorian.
It is sad that we are still passing this down to the children of today, but
thank you to people like LLL and Lactnet, hopefully this will change in
time. Certainly more mothers are breastfeeding today than in the
1950s.
Seasons greetings,
Pat
