Nativity Open House Features Over 280 Pieces

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Glasgow held their fourth annual Nativity Open House last week at their location on Airport Road. The event was open to the public for three days spanning from Wednesday the 28th through Friday the 30th.

According to one of the event's many organizers Shelley Romo, they had on display over 280 nativities that spanned four rooms. "Our goal is to open every classroom we've got. If people are willing to bring them in and show them," explained Romo adding that the Church really wants to make this open house a community event and not just an event for the Church of Latter-Day Saints in Glasgow.

Displays spanned the globe with some crafted by Israeli Olive Wood with others crafted in Russia, South America and all over Europe. On display there were simplistic Nativity scenes while others contained ornate detail with handcrafted features and paintings. There were also Holy Family displays while others represented entire scenes which contained more than 20 figurines.

The open house even included a scavenger hunt and toy Nativity scenes featuring Playskool figurines and a Veggie Tales themed display to keep all ages entertained and engaged in the event. The Church is looking forward to continuing the event in the years to come and they are constantly seeking Nativity scenes to add to the various displays.
