Just thought of something: even if you crucify squid Jesus, he still has plenty of arms free so he can escape.

Lol. I dig the bearded squid.

I’m either feeling the holy spirit or something has tentacles under my skirt.

The squid in the middle has a beard that looks like the one on The Evil Spock. Does this squid have a good, beardless, counterpart in another universe too?
Cuttlefish, OMsays
“Cephalopodmas”
Has a better sound, to me
It’s more inclusive
Just took my first attempt at cephalopod cookies (famous German recipe) out of the oven. It’s about time to reclaim the celebration of the coolest time of the year.

Even squids have a reason for the season. On a side note, this site has officially become one of my favorite destinations on the web. The squid nativity was the final convincing factor. (Alright, I loved your site before the squid nativity).

I was disturbed when the sushi bar at my college’s cafeteria served baby octopus a few weeks ago, but after seeing this image, I now understand that it was meant as a version of holy communion.

Wait, so what about the other 199,999 or so eggs?
Also, would squid Jesus be Squesus? Maybe SqueeJee?
Randysays
I like SqueeJee… Has kind of a disco vibe to it.

Sadly, it’s doubtful that a calamari Eucharist would ever take off.

Maybe that’s what the Star of David is for?
Picture the scene: (Just before Easter, on a hill in the occupied Middle East, +/- 33 AD… or is it 0 AD?).
Roman Guard 1: Jesus Christ! Will you stop fucking squirming?
Roman Guard 2: Oh shit, he’s got my bloody hammer again. Watch your heads!
SWISH! CLUNK!
Roman Guard 3: Spin it round! Spin it round!
WOOSH! BONK!
Roman Guard 1: He nearly got you that time Max!
Roman Guard 3: Fuck! We’re running out of nails.
Roman Guard 2: This is like nailing fucking jelly to the ceiling!

'Tis Himself, OM says
I like the squid star.
SEF says
I thought it was a cephalopod angel. I also thought we saw this nativity scene (or, at least, I saw it somewhere) last year.
Valdyr says
What squid is this, who, laid to rest,
On Mary’s lap is inking?
SEF says
NB The solstice is even closer.

What is that white thing the green squid is holding? A sheep? It would be nice to also have tentacamels!

Whatever happened to “Happy monkey!”

Come on, PZ. You post this every year :-)
Enemy with hentai cannon has already defeated himself.
Insider joke. Don’t ask.
Happy Tentacles says
I want to see a squidly angel!
felixthecat says
I was also wondering what the green creature was holding. I think that it is a headless cuttlefish- an acephalopod as it were.
The baby is kind of cute.

There’s always this, found from Schneier’s blog –
