Silhouettes of Mary and Joseph are surrounded by chain-link fencing topped with razor wire in front of Oak Lawn United Methodist Church.
Their halos are made from discarded bicycle wheels, and the manger is an old tire.
Two burn bins and a shopping cart flank the scene.

For her, the Christmas story is one of God choosing vulnerability over power.
Griffin Allison hopes the nativity expands viewers' ideas of who is holy.
