A statue of the baby Jesus is back where it's supposed to be this Christmas, in John and Joan Leising's yard in North Buffalo. The statue was taken from the Leising's lighted manger two days before last Christmas.

The statue showed up on their doorstep eight months later, along with a small photo album entitled "The Baby Jesus Chronicles". The book contained pictures of a road trip that the statue had been on all across New York State.

The Buffalo News first broke the story earlier this week and it has since gained national attention from CNN and created a huge buzz on the Internet.

On Wednesday, FingerLakes1.com learned that at least two of the people involved with the holiday hoax are actually Hobart Williams-Smith Colleges students in Geneva, NY. FingerLakes1.com discovered photos from the statue's 8-month tour of New York State on Facebook.com pages created by the two female William-Smith students. The pages at Facebook.com became unavailable late Wednesday afternoon.

Below are exclusive photos from the since locked Facebook pages:
