Date:

Glencairn Museum, 1001 Cathedral Road in Bryn Athyn, continues with holiday events, including the annual World Nativities exhibition through Jan. 26 and a castle tour of past Christmas celebrations through Jan. 5.

Glencairn Museum’s annual World Nativities exhibition presents dozens of three-dimensional Nativity scenes collected from around the world.

One of the highlights of this year’s World Nativities exhibition is a crafted Nativity scene by husband-and-wife artist team Karen Loccisano and R. Michael Palan, in memory of their friend Linda Weller, who passed away last year.

Another standout piece in the World Nativities exhibition is a ceramic Nativity scene crafted this year by Armenian artist Gohar Petrosyan. It depicts the Adoration of the Shepherds, inspired by a 1262 Gospel illumination by Armenian artist T’oros Roslin. It was commissioned by Anna Akhobadze, a member of the Armenian Church Youth Organization of America at Holy Trinity Armenian Apostolic Church in Cheltenham. Akhobadze, a 15-year-old high school junior and church member who visited Glencairn’s World Nativities exhibition last year, was passionate about including an Armenian Nativity in this year’s exhibition.

Meanwhile, a guided holiday tour visits different floors throughout the building, taking you on a journey back through time to explore how the Pitcairn family celebrated Christmas in their 20th-century castle.
