A World of Christmas

Category: Parish Events

St Mary's Church Hanley Castle have a huge exhibition of Nativity sets from around the world on display in the church. The Churchwarden, Helen said, "The exhibition started about 10 years ago now. I was on holiday in Hanover and visited a church where there was a nativity exhibition going on and my friend encouraged me to start one here and the collection has just increased over time. There are at least 300 displays from about 70 different countries. "The story they're telling shows people that this story is universal. Some people come back every year because they say it's a great way to start Advent. So we look forward to seeing people visiting!"
