I posted some photos of the Xhurch's Christmas Nativity at Flickr.
(You may also view it as a slideshow with musical accompaniment here.)
The Xhurch's Christmas Nativity took place Thursday, December 23rd, between the hours of 5 and 8pm at the Xhurch. (The Xhurch, for those who don't know, is a small repurposed church in Portland, OR that has been remade into a home studio/gallery/event space. It is also home to GOD, LLC.)
The Xhurch's Christmas Nativity was a purely nostalgic nativity—a "non-theist's" nativity. It was an opportunity for a small contingent of irreligious types to create the conditions for a warm holiday scene, complete with mood lighting, low-volume Christmas music, homemade hot chocolate, homemade hot apple cider, and pews to sit and sip and reflect on the nativity.
A statement was issued to accompany the nativity which can be read here.
Special thanks to everyone involved in making the nativity a success, and to a delightful audience.
