The Nativity, Glendon Place
The Nativity is bursting with rich color, lots of Kreinik metallic thread and a generous amount of Mill Hill beads. The design also includes the same bright star as found in the first design. The Nativity is the well-known story of the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. The remembrance and re-enactment of the Nativity scene are at the heart of the Christian celebration of Christmas. Although the exact date of His birth is undocumented, it is said that Jesus was born in the little town of Bethlehem in Israel over 2,000 years ago.
While Mary was pregnant and near the end of term, she and her husband Joseph traveled from their home in Nazareth (about 90 miles) south to Joseph's ancestral home, Bethlehem, in order to register in a census ordered by Emperor Augustus. Having arrived in Bethlehem, they found no place for themselves in the inn, and therefore they lodged in a stable where animals were kept. It was there that Mary gave birth to the Messiah, the Baby Jesus.
