December: Nativity lV!

Posted on by claresimons1

I had decided not to do another post on Nativity displays for December, but then I spotted some new ones – weird and wonderful, beautiful and bizarre, as well as the usual traditional and tasteful; here they are!

St John the Evangelist, Shirley, Croydon


I got quite a shock when I first saw these life-sized figures as I drove up to the church!

St George’s Cathedral, Lambeth

Beautiful altar of St Georges Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral

Unusual Nativity scene at Southwark…..
…..and this stunning triptych at the entrance

And to finish, a few more nativity scenes and posters:

St Mary’s Primary School, Carshalton
Traditional Nativity Scene in Oasis Christian Bookshop and…..
…cute Nativity Scene
These posters are on the wall of the Salvation Army Church at Southwark. I love the first picture of all the different people coming to the manger – ‘Christmas is for all people’.

This was going to be the last blog post on ‘Christian London’. However, I find that I have collected much more material about Christian London, at least five months’ worth of themes! So 2023 will be the 4th year of exploring, in words and pictures, all things Christian in the 33 boroughs that make up my wonderful city, London. It just remains for me to wish you all a very happy and blessed New Year.
