Yuletide Worldwide
By Mackenzie Zlotnik
Being a student employee in the Marian Library has allowed me to be involved in some very interesting and eye-opening projects, one being this Christmas Card project. The ability to see all of the different interpretations and perspectives of the Christmas season from around the world is my favorite aspect of this project. Out of all 299 cards in the collection — from 16 different countries and areas in the world — not one is the same as another. Seeing the representation of Christmas through the remarkable beauty and unique qualities of each card has been a great segue into the near Christmas season!
