Students create living Nativity scene

As part of an art project for the San Marcos CISD Lamar Annex, students of the Pathfinder Learning Center created a living Nativity crèche. The French word crèche means “crib,” and it is a three dimensional folk art depiction of the traditional Nativity scene.There was even frankincense in the Magi’s box! The two babies are enrolled in the District’s Child Development Center.Karen Cross was the Artistic Director of the project. Shown in the Nativity scene is: Aaron Solis (Joseph), Gavin Palomino (Baby Angel), Sofia Martinez (Mary), Sofia Rodriguez (Baby Jesus) and Jonathan Stephens (Wise man.)
