  • Nativity Museum Reopens in Bethlehem in Time for Christmas Celebration
    Nativity museum reopens in Bethlehem in time for Christmas celebration BETHLEHEM, West Bank – Traditional ceramic and wood Nativity scenes from Spain share center stage along with miniature wooden box reproductions from Mexico, an almond-eyed baby Jesus from Thailand and a hanbok-clad Holy Family from Korea at the newly reopened International Nativity Museum. Originally inaugurated on the ground floor of the Salesian provincial house in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve in 1999, the museum was closed a few months later following the outbreak of the second intifada. Its reopening Dec. 18 is part of a general “reawakening” of Bethlehem, said Elisa Nucci, artistic director of the museum. Nucci, an art historian and musicologist, works for International Volunteering for Development. The organization provides technical assistance to the Salesian order in 200 countries and was instrumental in renovating the museum and facilitating its reopening. Located in an 18th-century building which once served as the provincial house’s orphanage, the museum displays about 200 representations of the Nativity donated from almost 150 countries. They include work in raku, a type of Japanese pottery; bronze, painted glass; and a contemporary piece made from painted Italian Carrara marble, the same type of marble from which Michelangelo carved his sculpture “David.” The museum also includes a Nativity scene donated by Pope John Paul II. An expansive carved wooden Nativity scene from Madagascar depicts a traditional African village with the figures in native African dress, a woman grinding grain and an elder leaning on a wooden cane. In a smaller Nativity scene, a llama is included in the manger and baby Jesus is wearing the traditional woolen hat of the Andes.

  • Family Faith Activity #2 for December, 2020 Creating and Blessing of Your Family's Nativity Scene. the Very First Nativity Sc
    Family Faith Activity #2 for December, 2020 Creating and blessing of your family’s Nativity scene. The very first nativity scene dates back to 1223 – almost 800 years ago! That year, at the Christmas Mass, Francis of Assisi presented a live representation of the Nativity in a small cave in Greccio, Italy. He hoped that people who saw this moving, creative way of remembering the story of Jesus’ birth would come to understand the great divine love that brought God’s own Son into our world. Since that time, nativity sets have become a tradition in our homes during the Christmas season. Our own Nativity scenes which rest under our Christmas trees, or wherever we place them in our home are a visible reminder of that night when our Savior was born and that began our journey to salvation. A good way to begin the celebration of Christmas is with a blessing of the figures in your family’s nativity set. If you don’t have a nativity set, you could make the paper one that is a document in this folder. You can color and cut out the paper figures and set them up in your home. When you are blessing the figures, take time to hold each one and bless them with the prayers below. If you have more figures than the ones mentioned here, create your own blessing. Remember to bless the people in your family, too. Like the figures in the scene created by St. Francis, the people in your family are living reminders of God’s great gift of love.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See CHRISTMAS GREETINGS TO THE EMPLOYEES OF THE HOLY SEE AND OF VATICAN CITY STATE ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS POPE FRANCIS Paul VI Audience Hall Friday, 21 December 2018 [Multimedia] Dear brothers and sisters, Thank you for coming, many also with family members. I liked greeting the family members, but the prize goes to the great-grandmother, aged 93, with her daughter, who is a grandmother, with parents and two children. The family is beautiful like this. And you work for the family, for your children, to raise your family. It is a grace! Safeguard families. And a merry Christmas to you all! Christmas is a quintessential joyous feast, but we often realize that people, and perhaps ourselves, are caught up in many things and in the end there is no joy, or, if there is, it is very superficial. Why? I was reminded of that expression by the French writer Léon Bloy: “the only great tragedy in life, is not to become a saint” (The Woman Who was Poor, see Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et exsultate, 34). Therefore, the opposite of sadness, that is, joy, is linked to being saints. As is the joy of Christmas. Being good, at least having the desire to be good. Let us look at the Nativity scene. Who is happy, in the Nativity? I would like to ask you children, who love to look at the little figures ... and maybe even move them a bit, putting them in different places, angering their dad, who arranged them with such care! So who is happy in the Nativity scene? Our Lady and Saint Joseph are full of joy: they look at the 2 Child Jesus and they are happy because, after a thousand worries, they have accepted this gift of God, with so much faith and so much love.

  • The Magi and the Manger: Imaging Christmas in Ancient Art and Ritual
    The Magi and the Manger: Imaging Christmas in Ancient Art and Ritual By Felicity Harley-McGowan and Andrew McGowan | Volume 3.1 Fall 2016 The story of the birth of Jesus Christ is familiar, both from the biblical narratives and from iconography that has become ubiquitous in church decoration and widely circulated on Christmas cards: a mother and father adoring their new-born child, an ox and an ass leaning over the child, a star hovering above this scene, angels, shepherds with their sheep in a field, and luxuriously clad “wise” men or kings approaching the child with gifts. All these elements are included by the Venetian artist Jacopo Tintoretto in a painting which started in his workshop in the late 1550s, and for much of its life hung above the altar of a church in Northern Italy (Fig. 1). In addition, Tintoretto imagines other figures at the scene. With Mary and Joseph at the manger, he includes a second pair of human figures, perhaps the parents of the Virgin: Anna and Joachim. The artist also inserts less traditional animals in the foreground: a chicken and a rabbit, and a dog curled at the foot of the manger. Fig. 1. Jacopo Tintoretto (Jacopo Robusti), The Nativity, Italian, late 1550s (reworked, 1570s), oil on canvas, 155.6 x 358.1 cm. Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: gift of Quincy Shaw, accession number 46.1430. Photograph © 2016 Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Yet the rich details of the scene that Tintoretto depicts, many of which are now well known in popular renditions, were not present in the first depictions of the Nativity.
