Many seem to feel that one way to put Christ back into Christmas is by displaying a Nativity scene. |
In Matthew's Nativity, the angelic Annunciation is made to Joseph while Luke's is to Mary. |
The engravings of Adam and Eve and the Nativity, both of 1504, are the first fruits of these investigations. |
Also featured are Caravaggio's Nativity with San Lorenzo and San Francisco, Cezanne's View of Auvers-sur-Oise and Da Vinci's Madonna of the Yarnwinder. |
Other works include The Nativity for soprano and orchestra, sacred choral anthems, hymn preludes for organ and works for trumpet and organ. |
It was lovely to hear and see youngsters enjoying themselves doing a Nativity. |
