Cripta of the Cattedrale, Avellino, Italy
18 Dec 2021-15 Jan 2022
Inside the Nativity Scene. Images and Suggestions by Gennaro Miccio, Maria Cristina Lenzi, (preface by the Bishop of Avellino, Monsignor. Arturo Aiello, Apostolic Letter of Pope Francis), is a exhibition that illustrates effectively and evocatively a blend of art, popular tradition and spiritual yearning.
On the one hand, as Pope Francis points out, there is the artistic expression that creates a link with the dogmas of faith, making Jesus accessible to humanity, Man and God at once. On the other hand, as Monsignor Aiello and the Pope both point out, there is the importance of a traditional rituality, with its secular origins, seen in its creation. This Nativity brings back memories of the first Nativity scene, set up by St. Francis of Assisi in Greccio.
