Nativity scenes displayed throughout the Ave Maria town center offer a glimpse into the cultural celebrations of Christmas around the world. These unique crèches are the subject of Ave Herald Editor Patricia Sette's column in the Collier Citizen, available by clicking here.
Just a few of the crèches are shown below. Clockwise from upper left, are: a nativity scene from South America; the Holy Family from a nativity scene from the U.S. midwest, a scene in a scallop shell-sized case; a native American scene from Sedona; and Las Posadas from Mexico.
Below, clockwise from upper left, the full midwestern U.S. nativity scene that the Holy Family above was part of, a crèche from Bangladesh, two parts of a large knitted nativity scene.
