Nativity Sets Exhibit

Fr. Roy Herberger’s Nativity Sets exhibit is available on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-4 pm from now until January 8th (except Christmas and New Year’s weekends) at Our Lady of Victory Basilica (lower level), 767 Ridge Rd., Lackawanna. This unique collection features Nativity sets from around the world! Honoring the Nativity has been a traditional part of the Advent and Christmas season for hundreds of years. The tradition began in the year 1223 when St. Francis of Assisi assembled the first nativity scene on Christmas Eve near Greccio, Italy. He was holding a Christmas service and Mass inside of a cave and he wanted to focus on the true meaning of Christmas. Don't miss this once-a-year opportunity to view and enjoy this beautiful collection of nativity sets!
