ADVENT CALENDAR DAY TWENTY FIVE Winfred S. Hyatt made three Nativity scenes for the Raymond Pitcairn
ADVENT CALENDAR DAY TWENTY FIVE Winfred S. Hyatt made three Nativity scenes for the Raymond Pitcairn family during the 1920s. Hyatt, the principal stained-glass artist and designer for Bryn Athyn Cathedral and later Glencairn, also made Nativity scenes for the Cathedral, the Harold Pitcairn family, and President and Mrs. Eisenhower. This Nativity was originally made for Cairnwood, the Bryn Athyn home built by John and Gertrude Pitcairn and lived in by Raymond, their eldest son, until he built Glencairn (right next door).https://glencairnmuseum.org/winfred-hyatt-nativityThis year Glencairn’s annual World Nativities exhibition is taking place online for all to enjoy. Every day a new Nativity scene from Glencairn’s collection will appear in an online Advent calendar on our website. Visit the calendar regularly, or simply follow our social media to receive each day’s Nativity in your newsfeed and learn about its history, imagery, and the artist who made it! -- source link
