Día de Los Reyes Nativity Open House
Día de Los Reyes Nativity Open House
The Epiphany: Día de los Reyes is an exhibit sharing the creches (nacimientos) from the collection of Faith Hutson and John Verploegh and includes ones from their world journeys. Part of the fascination for collecting nativities from around the world lies in how various artists of different cultures place the Incarnation within their own time and place. Rather than recreate a historical depiction of the birth of Jesus, artists often choose to bring Jesus’ Nativity into their own present time and era.
This Open House Nativity event will be held at 706 South Mesquite St., Las Cruces. A suggested $5.00 donation per person will help increase the fund for public art in the Mesquite Original Townsite Historic District.
Cafe de olla and Rosca de Reyes will be served and there will be a raffle for a handmade piece of art.
