ADVENT CALENDAR DAY TWENTY FOUR Bryn Athyn Nativity honors the architectural legacy of Raymond Pitca
ADVENT CALENDAR DAY TWENTY FOUR Bryn Athyn Nativity honors the architectural legacy of Raymond Pitcairn, who supervised the design and construction of both Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn, and also his particular love for the story of the Nativity and the celebration of Christmas. Drawing from their favorite elements in each of the buildings, the artists at Navidad Nativities developed a design that represents their own interpretation of the historical and architectural relationship between Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn. The lavender glow surrounding the Holy Family duplicates the light in the sanctuary of the actual Cathedral, produced when the sun streams through the red and blue glass in the side windows. https://glencairnmuseum.org/bryn-athyn-nativityThis year Glencairn’s annual World Nativities exhibition is taking place online for all to enjoy. Every day a new Nativity scene from Glencairn’s collection will appear in an online Advent calendar on our website. Visit the calendar regularly, or simply follow our social media to receive each day’s Nativity in your newsfeed and learn about its history, imagery, and the artist who made it! -- source link
