A World of Nativity An exhibition of Nativity Sets from around the World St. Mary’s Church, Hanley Castle, Worcestershire. Saturday 30th November to Sunday 8th December 2024 Daily, 2.00pm – 5.00pm This annual exhibition features over 300 nativities from nearly 100 countries around the world and makes the perfect start to the season of Advent. Items on display illustrate the Christmas story in wood, metal, paper, felt, wool, fabric, and clay; carved from tropical nuts, formed from recycled bullets and spark plugs, folded from old magazines. The Holy Family appear in the likeness of the people who made them, the attendant animals are indigenous to their area, and many of the craftspeople who create them rely on their work being Fair Trade.This year there is also a section exploring ideas for a more eco friendly, sustainable Christmas.
