Second Week of Advent
Eight Centuries of the Nativity Scene
Did you know that this year marks the 800th anniversary of St. Francis introducing the first Nativity scene? Your gift for this week of Advent is a look into the history of St. Francis while touring a traditional Nativity village from the House of Fontanini. Take a close look at several villagers, shelters and visitors to the Holy Family. This peaceful village is currently on display in the Nativities and the Natural World Christmas exhibit.
We hope you enjoy this special gift and check back next week to see what is being shared for the third week of Advent.
