“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.” (Matthew 2:10-11)The Raymond Pitcairn family’s three-part Nativity scene, made for them in the 1920s, moved to Glencairn when the family’s new home was completed in 1939. It has been displayed in the Upper Hall every Christmas since then. The story of the Nativity is depicted from left to right: the first scene is the Annunciation to the Shepherds; the second portrays the Nativity; and the third shows the wise men gazing at the Star of Bethlehem. http://ow.ly/Ulflm -- source link
