Exhibits in Canada
British Columbia - Vancouver
Christ Church Cathedral
Historic creche displayed in the church in Vancouver, once displayed at Woodwards dept. store. Christ Church Cathedral's Creche scene is a piece of Vancouver history. The scene, depicting the birth of Jesus, consists of specially-commissioned figures, hand carved in Italy from olive wood. This nativity scene originally belonged to the Woodward's department store and was a key feature in their Christmas window displays from 1955 until the chain closed in 1993.The Hudson's Bay Company Store at Granville and Georgia purchased the creche from Woodward's in 1993 and used it in their own window displays. In 2013, The Hudson's Bay Company donated the scene to Christ Church Cathedral.
