The Adoration of the Christ Child. Possibly 1496-1502. Netherlandish. Oil on oak panel. Overall 23 1\/8 x 16 1\/4 in. (58.7 x 41.3 cm); painted surface 22 7\/8 x 16 in. (58.1 x 40.1 cm). Robert Lehman Collection, 1975. Accession Number 1975.1.116. New York City, New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/p><p><em>The scene depicts the infant Christ Child, surrounded by a group of admirers which includes his parents, shepherds, animals, and angels. In Antwerp, adoration scenes were created for public consumption, many of which were influenced by Saint Bridget of Sweden&#8217;s visionary account. Although this painting is associated with the Master of Frankfurt and his workshop, it is different from other surviving examples because it does not show the scene taking place under the night sky. This absence of dramatic effect is compensated for by other elements, such as the flowing hair of several angels, which imbues the picture with a sense of movement.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3ad68168\" data-id=\"3ad68168\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1bf6f1dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1bf6f1dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Christmas Day<\/strong> &#8211; December 25th<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e2f6030 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e2f6030\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Christmas morning is a special time for all families. We gather around our Christmas trees, open presents, and share the joy of Christmas. Christmas celebrates the birth of the Christ child and marvels at the mystery of the Incarnation of God in human flesh. It is a day to celebrate new beginnings and possibilities. Christmas morning is a busy time with lots to do, but everyone still needs to eat.<\/p><p>The tradition is to have a sweet and rich breakfast on Christmas morning. Our family&#8217;s tradition has been to eat what we call Monkey Bread; some call it Christmas Delight. It is based on a Hungarian Coffee Cake developed in the Jewish community called Arany Galuska, but this dish (with some tweaks) has become an American Christmas morning tradition. (Apparently, we call it monkey bread because we eat it with our fingers like monkeys.)<\/p><p>This food celebrating the Christ-child is certainly designed for children and for all who are children-at-heart. We divide up our balls of biscuits the night before and have the children dip them in the sugar and cinnamon. Then, first thing on Christmas morning, when the coffee drips, we place them in the oven. This fills the whole house with the delicious smells of Christmas as the kids wake up with Christmas joy. I hope you enjoy this tradition as much as we do.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-268166cf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"268166cf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6525fcf7\" data-id=\"6525fcf7\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b923239 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt\" data-id=\"b923239\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-custom-recipe-card-post wpzoom-rcb-post-shortcode\" data-parent-id=\"8379\" data-recipe-post=\"8379\"><div id=\"wpzoom-premium-recipe-card\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-recipe-card header-content-align-center block-alignment-left is-style-newdesign\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MonkeyBread-750x530.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Delight Monkey Bread\" class=\"wpzoom-recipe-card-image\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/MonkeyBread-750x530.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"Christmas Delight Monkey Bread\"\/>\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-image -->\n\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-heading\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"recipe-card-title\">Christmas Delight Monkey Bread<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-container\" data-rating=\"0.0\" data-rating-total=\"0\" data-recipe-id=\"8379\" data-user-can-rate=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars\"><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><\/ul><span class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-average\"><small class=\"wpzoom-rating-average\">0<\/small> <small>from<\/small> <small class=\"wpzoom-rating-total-votes\">0<\/small> <small>votes<\/small><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<em class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-tooltip\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-heading -->\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"recipe-card-summary\">Monkey bread is a sweet and sticky bread that is made by baking small balls of dough with plenty of sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.

class=\"direction-step\">In a separate bowl whisk 1 cup whole milk, 1\/3 cup water, 1\/4 cup granulated sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter until the sugar has dissolved.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-645579db95702\" class=\"direction-step\">Combine the flour mixture with the milk mixture while stirring (or using the paddle attachment on a stand mixer.) Mix for about 2 minutes until a cohesive dough starts to form.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-645579db95703\" class=\"direction-step\">Knead the dough by hand (or using a stand mixer with dough hook) for an additional 8 \u2013 10 minutes. The dough should be smooth, elastic, and somewhat sticky.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199436\" class=\"direction-step\">Place the dough on a lightly floured counter (flouring your hands if necessary, as well) and form into a smooth, round ball.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199437\" class=\"direction-step\">Place the dough seam side down in a lightly greased large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199438\" class=\"direction-step\">Let rise for 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199439\" class=\"direction-step\">Towards the end of the rise, grease a 12-cup nonstick Bundt pan. In a medium size bowl, mix together 1 cup light brown sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon in a bowl. In a separate bowl, melt 8 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow the butter to cool.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199440\" class=\"direction-step\">Transfer the dough to a lightly floured countertop and shape the dough into a 8? x 8? square.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199441\" class=\"direction-step\">Using a knife, divide the dough into 8 even strips and then divide each of the 8 strips into 8 \u2013 1? pieces. You should have a total of 64 pieces.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168332339199542\" class=\"direction-step\">Shape each piece into a little ball, dip the ball in the melted butter, and the roll the ball in the sugar\/cinnamon mixture.
