Joy to the World:
Fourth Annual International Nativity Exhibit
November 19, 2004 - January 10, 2005
Three treasures from the Vatican Museums are among the more than 150 nativities
from around the world that distinguishes the Cultural Center's fourth
annual international crèche exhibit. The Vatican pieces include: Adoration
by the Shepherds, an oil painting on canvas from the Murillo School; Nativity,
a gilded bronze by Cecco Bonanotte; and Maternity, a painting on cloth from Japan.
"The addition of the nativity pieces from the Vatican collection indicates the remarkable breadth and depth of this inspiring annual exhibit that attracts so many visitors from around the country," said Msgr. William A. Kerr, Cultural Center executive director. "The cultural expressions of faith are very much evident by the international scope of this show."
Joy to the World: Fourth Annual International Nativity Exhibit also features nativities from the prestigious collection of James and Emilia Govan. Visitors from previous years will recognize some of their favorites, but Mr. Govan has lent the Cultural Center many new nativities from every inhabited continent for this year's exhibit. Also new to the exhibit this year are numerous nativities from the collection of Laura Kirkconnell.
