A Festival of Cribs will be held
at Saint Mary of the Isle, Douglas next Saturday, 15th December,
9.00 am – 6.00 pm. Come along to get some ideas of the variety of crib and
manger scenes from different parts of the world. Tea, coffee and cakes
available throughout the day, together with some Christmas cards and gifts from
the Holy Land. No entrance fee... just a voluntary collection which will be
sent to the Christians of the Holy Land.
If you have a crib which is particularly significant to
your family and/or which has a special history or origin, would you lend it for
the exhibition? If you could write a couple of words to explain to others why
the crib is significant then we will display this as well.
If any individual or group would like to make a floral or
craft depiction of the Bethlehem Manger Scene then we would be delighted to
display it. Thank you
