For centuries people around the world have celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ and numerous traditions have been incorporated into the Christmas season. Advent calendars, Christmas trees, and the display of the crèche, the three-dimensional representation of the Nativity scene, are just a few of these traditions. These traditions also incorporate other important Christian figures and events in Christ’s life, such as St. Nicholas Day and the Feast of the Epiphany. This Christmas, the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center presents the exhibit, "The Spirit of Christmas," which features crèches and other artwork from around the globe celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ and traditions and feast days during the season.
