Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.

The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.

In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.

This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

You decide – explore multiple printmaking techniques and processes or deepen your practice in one area.

Learn new techniques or connect printmaking to other artistic media.

Includes one 3-hour practice session per week during monitored practice hours.

'24) and pianist Benjamin Harding(opens in a new window/tab) will sing and play works by Gustav Holst, Eric Paździora, and J.A.C. Redford. To accompany the music, excerpts from MacDonald’s Phantastes will be read by Malcolm Guite, immersing those present in the imagination of George MacDonald. 

This musical evening journeys through the land of Faerie through the songs from MacDonald’s Phantastes. Anodos and those he encounters tend to break into song, revealing both their hidden internal desires and the deep mysteries of the spiritual life. A highlight in the evening is the song of the girl whose globe was broken by Anodos but now can sing, “wherever I go, my songs do good, and deliver people.” This concert celebrates this awakening of the imagination and the healing powers of music where mystery, even for a moment, is grasped and wonder guides one’s knowing, immersing those present in the imagination of George MacDonald.

This event is free and open to the public. View more information here.

“Might Not a Song Awake…?”: A Lyrical Evening with MacDonald’s Phantastes is a part of The Genius of George MacDonald conference being hosted by the ISM on December 13-14. Although the full conference requires paid registration and has a limited number of open spots, this concert event is free and open to the public with no need for registration.

This event is sponsored by Marquand Chapel, The Genius of George MacDonald Conference, Yale Institute of Sacred Music, and private donors.

Most of the Christians who live in Africa are in the Sub-Saharan nations (nations south of the Sahara Desert), though Christians are found throughout the entire continent. According to a Pew Study in 2018, Christianity is growing the fastest within African countries than anywhere else in the world. Christianity spread into Africa as early as the first century, particularly throughout Northern Africa, and continued right up until the seventh century, when armies practicing the new Islamic faith spread into Africa.

The next era of growth began in the 15th century, when many European countries, starting with Portugal, began searching for alternative trade routes to Asia. Europeans established trade posts along the western coast of Africa and sent missionaries to spread the faith. These missionaries brought their own simple plaster crèches with them, and they later enlisted the aid of local artisans to create variations reflective of their own cultures and traditions. These local artisans used native materials that were both abundant and accessible — a tradition that continues to this day.

In recent years, Christians in several nations within the African continent have been subjected to persecution resulting in the displacement of millions and numerous deaths. Despite this, the people’s dedication to their faith is unwavering. It is in honor of their spirit and determination that the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center is pleased to exhibit more than 50 works representing 23 countries across the African continent. This exhibit also explores some of the traditions and festivities that have developed throughout Africa to celebrate the season.

Exhibition open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm EXCEPT Thursday, November 28 (Thanksgiving) and Wednesday, December 25 (Christmas Day) with free parking and admission.

She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

The Gospel of St. Luke provides the only description of where Christ was born, as it mentions him being placed in a manger. This suggests that Mary gave birth in a stable. Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.

This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.

Explore print processes using safe water-soluble inks and novel plate supports. Develop personal imagery utilizing woodcut, linocut, etching, drypoint, monotype, monoprint, trace monotype, collagraph, embossment, Chine-collé, Solar Plates, and multiple inking and printing techniques. Experiment with innovative plate supports, mark-making tools, archival rag and Japanese papers, non-traditional inking procedures, and other approaches to image-making.

All inks, rollers, plate supports, newsprint, print tools, presses, soap, and water are supplied. Some print papers are supplied and students are welcome to bring their own.

Join us for our family program Getting StARTed, where we offer engaging activities to guide families in looking at art together. The 30-minute sessions focus on a range of works from the collection and build in time for participants to try the month’s activity on their own.

Although many stables of this region and time period were built in caves, crèches, the three-dimensional representation of the nativity scene, have a diversity of stables and settings, including the most commonly used type of stable, an open-front wood structure. However, many artisans model their crèches after buildings and landscapes that are native to their homelands.

This exhibit includes a variety of crèches that showcase different examples of stables and mangers. In addition, it also highlights the creation of a handful of crèches that have settings customized to display the figures. These crèches include, the Marcel Carbonel Santons of Marseille, France, Fontanini of Bagni di Lucca, Italy, the Neapolitan crèche by Cantone and Costabile of Naples Italy, and the newest additions to our collection by United States based Navidad Nativities: the St. Francis Nativity, with figures by Ulpe Wood Art and St. Mary’s crèche with figures by Original Heide, both from Italy.
