"Franciscan Christmas" in Ecuador
100 Nativity scenes on display until February 2025
13 December 2024On the 29th November in Quito, Ecuador, the "Fray Pedro Gocial" Museum of Colonial Art inaugurated the XVIII "Franciscan Christmas" Nativity Scene Exhibition. Until February 2025, almost 100 Nativity scenes in different artistic techniques will be exhibited: ceramics, wood, bees wax, crocheted, and recycled materials.
Br. Sandro Luzuriaga, OFM, director of the Museum, together with a team of twenty nativity scene artists, worked nine months to inaugurate this exhibition that is already a tradition in Quito. In this way, we Franciscans seek to evangelize through art, announcing God's love to the world and sharing with those who visit us St. Francis' devotion to the mystery of the Incarnation.
