The National Cathedral Creche Exhibit (Part 1)

Here's another post dedicated to one of my favorite art exhibits in the city.  It's a collection of nativity scenes made from natural resources from all over the world. 


A little shout out to Luke's motherland - carved from wood in Armenia.


And I thought of the Baeders in Burkina-Faso when I saw this creche made of bronze in a monastery in the capital city of Ouagadougou.


And this creche is made of dark indigenous wenge wood in the Republic of Congo.


This is painted wood from Finland.  I love the simplicity.


And who knew that gourds could be such an artistic ingredient?  Danny and the folks in Peru.  

Check out the next post for five more...
