Then the piece unfolds itself in front of my eyes.” The base of this Nativity was made from an old door, which still retains part of its latch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2337b2a3-73ec-47f9-bec9-8453a21b46a3/14.jpeg Newsletter - World Nativities Exhibition 2025 - Make it stand out Figure 14: This Nativity is presented within a traditional East African setting including a thatched-roof hut and Sanga cattle.

The Ferrignos own several shops on Via San Gregorio Armeno, a street known around the world by collectors of Nativities. The faces, hands, lower legs, and feet of the figures are made of terracotta, and the limbs were formed with wire wrapped in cloth so that each figure is posable.

He crafted his cardboard canvases from discarded boxes like those he found at the Derst Baking Company in Savannah, Georgia, where he once worked. According to Bostic, “The Bible had story after story to tell. I just had to pick what to paint them on. I ran my hand against these big old cardboard sheets. They were so smooth. This was what I wanted.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/0cf39758-46a0-4a72-a312-95c772e20337/12.+Abraham+and+Isaac.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 3: Abraham and Isaac. This painting portrays one of the stories about the life of Abraham in the Book of Genesis. God told Abraham to take his only son, Isaac, to a mountain and sacrifice him. Here, Abraham holds a knife over Isaac, who lies on an altar of wood. However, an angel, who appears in the air above Abraham, was sent by God to stop Abraham from harming Isaac. Abraham found a ram in a nearby thicket, which he sacrificed instead. Bostic’s use of recycled cardboard here is striking. The canvas is a round lid, probably from a flour or sugar barrel; its raised rim serves as a frame. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/d2cc518a-56da-457c-86f7-5ba64cb33c37/19.+Last+Supper.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 4: Last Supper. The Last Supper is the final meal that Jesus ate with his twelve disciples before his arrest, trial, and crucifixion. In this painting, Bostic draws inspiration from the composition of the famous Renaissance masterpiece, The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci. Jesus and his disciples are gathered along one side of a long table draped with a white cloth. The Gospels recount how, during this meal, Jesus gave bread and wine to his disciples, saying that the bread was his body and the wine his blood. This act is commemorated in the Christian sacrament of Communion or Eucharist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/8c910560-c73d-409e-a823-85e3e89eb627/25.+Lake+of+Fire.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 5: Lake of Fire/Angels Thrown from Heaven. This painting depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation in which the dead are judged according to what they had done in their lives. Anyone not recorded in the book of life was thrown into a lake of fire. Here, a series of figures cascade down into a deep lake. At the bottom of the lake, the figures encounter a red devil. The frame is made from a separate piece of cardboard. It shows crosses and elements from the central image, mostly barren landscapes and falling human beings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2cc61c06-763e-45b4-9107-5049ddb5b7fe/1.+Creation+of+Adam.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 6: Creation of Adam.

Here, Bostic alludes to the famous image from Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel of the hands of God and Adam extending toward each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/dade6dae-6814-4c48-96ca-e9921a8b15d8/5.+Noah+with+the+Animals.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 7: Noah with the Animals and Angels. In the center of this painting, Noah stands surrounded by animals. There is no sign of the ark or a flood. Bostic has painted an especially elaborate frame for this painting. It features various animals in separate rectangles at the top and bottom, and large angels to the left and right. Bostic explained his interest in angels in this way: “I love angels. I believe angels are behind most of what happens on this earth, working for the forces of light. There are guardian angels and angels who oversee the weather. God has given each angel a specific job to do.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/7039e099-3ab3-4265-bd66-cb18ee1b3e1a/11.+Nativity+with+Angel.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 8: Nativity with Angel. A winged angel stands above Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus, who is lying in a manger. Animals gather around on either side. Sometimes, Bostic added a separate cardboard frame to his painting, as he did here. This frame is painted with the heads of angels, humans, and animals from the central scene, along with a depiction of Jesus in a manger, crosses, vessels, fruit, and a book (likely the Bible). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3c33cb67-56df-483f-bb07-0d3eaa40efd1/2.+Adam+and+Eve+Naming+the+Animals.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 9: Adam and Eve Naming the Animals. In the Book of Genesis, God brings all animals to Adam to be named. In this painting, Adam, seated in the center, is surrounded by a wide variety of animals, including a giraffe and elephant behind him and a squirrel in front of him. Adam looks at Eve, the first woman, who holds a bouquet of flowers. An angel hovers above in the upper left corner. Angels held special meaning for Bostic, who featured them frequently in his art. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/e34d0d2e-e8d6-4bbf-9ecc-0d3aeefbe134/7.+Moses+at+the+Rock.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 10: Moses at the Rock. In the Bible, Moses rescued the Children of Israel from slavery in Egypt and led them through the Sinai wilderness toward the land that God had promised them. In this painting, Moses stands beside a pool of water flowing from a rock. The Book of Numbers describes how, during their time in the wilderness, the people ran out of water and turned against Moses. God instructed Moses to strike a rock with his staff to bring forth water. The two white tablets shown near Moses’ head refer to another biblical event that took place in the wilderness. On Mount Sinai, God gave Moses the Ten Commandments written on two stone tablets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2d50e97d-3332-41ab-a6bb-8acc8c539359/9.+Jonah+Tossed+Overboard+.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 11: Jonah Tossed Overboard. The biblical account of Jonah is a story of salvation, like many of the narratives Bostic liked to paint. This painting shows the moment when Jonah was being thrown from a ship by his fellow travelers. They did so to calm a stormy sea caused by Jonah’s flight from God. Jonah’s left foot just touches the lower jaw of the giant fish that will swallow him. The Bible tells of how God rescued Jonah and brought him to safety after he spent three days in the belly of the fish. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2fd9c2e0-540a-45b9-9cc9-91fea778b5b2/14.+Behold+the+Lamb.jpg Newsletter - Cardboard Chronicles: The Biblical Art of Rudolph Bostic - Make it stand out Figure 12: Behold the Lamb: Baptism of Jesus.

This goose egg features sophisticated arrangements of floral and bird motifs, representing one of the most elaborate Pennsylvania Dutch scratched eggs to have survived from the nineteenth century. It was preserved by Joseph Kindig Jr. of York, Pennsylvania, who began collecting in the 1920s and became an influential expert in the material culture of the Mid-Atlantic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3770cc0a-f235-4b2a-bf93-b9e999ec8b97/Photo+2.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Ancient Egyptian ceramic egg in the Glencairn Museum collection, provenance and date unknown. This egg-shaped ceramic object in the Egyptian collection at Glencairn Museum, formerly part of the Academy of the New Church’s museum for at least a century, raises questions for researchers. It may be an ovoid juglet with a broken spout. However, its distinctive egg shape could hold symbolic meaning. According to two different versions of the Egyptian creation myth, the god who shaped the world hatched from a Cosmic Egg laid by either the celestial goose (known as the “Great Cackler”) or by the ibis associated with the god Thoth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/0f81b3f0-3137-4d30-bc31-ed36b28406bb/Photo+3.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Roman marble relief of Phanes-Mithras hatching from the cosmic egg, forming the heavens and the earth from the eggshell, surrounded by the twelve signs of the zodiac and the four winds.

Human traditions of egg decoration draw inspiration from the colorful eggs of birds worldwide. Robin's eggs are among the most brightly colored, and robin migrations signify the arrival of spring. In European art, robins are linked to the Paschal (Easter) mystery, their red breast symbolizing Christ's blood. According to some legends, a robin's breast turned red when it felt compassion and tried to remove thorns from Christ’s crown, but in doing so, pricked its own breast. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/9050f917-0079-488a-ba65-b2ba301e2342/Photo+5.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Red egg, dyed with onion skins, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. Eggs dyed red played significant roles in religions and cultures throughout the ancient world, including the Jews, Greeks, Persians, Chinese, and later by Yazidi Kurds and Christians. Typically dyed with onion skins and a small amount of vinegar to bind the dye to the shell, the eggs were hard boiled in the dye, and remained edible with a touch of onion flavor to the egg. This is also the traditional way to dye eggs among the Pennsylvania Dutch, Ukrainians, and Lithuanians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/cdb8e692-443c-493d-bc0f-4f7d0970b187/Photo+6.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out St. Mary Magdalene and the egg, Ukrainian Orthodox icon, 2023, Heilman Collection of Patrick J. Donmoyer, Kutztown, Pennsylvania. Some Orthodox Christians and Catholics attribute the origin of the Easter egg to a miracle by St. Mary Magdalene, the first witness to the Resurrection of Christ in the Gospel narratives. According to tradition, Mary Magdalene presented an egg to the Roman Emperor Tiberius to spread the news of the Resurrection. The emperor responded that a human could no more rise from the dead than the egg in her hand could turn red. But the egg reportedly turned crimson red instantly. In other stories, Mary Magdalene brought a basket of hard boiled eggs to hold vigil at the tomb of Jesus. When she arrived, she found the stone that had covered the tomb rolled away, and the eggs in her basket had turned red. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/ab1e25a9-2827-40d4-9b8b-6cad756dcccb/Photo+7.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Ostrich egg, private collection of Becca Munro, Harleysville, Pennsylvania. In the Mediterranean and the Middle East, it was a tradition to hang ostrich eggs from the ceilings of religious places, including mosques, Egyptian Christian (Coptic) churches, and Greek Orthodox churches. These eggs symbolized theological ideas or served to bless those entering sacred spaces. In some cases, the ostrich eggs were made from porcelain, like the ones that decorate hanging lamps at St. Catherine’s Monastery at the foot of Mount Sinai. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/76a5f42a-1278-4fc1-b35c-3dd10b2ce6a7/Photo+8.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out A traditional Pennsylvania Dutch scratched goose egg, by Peter V. Fritsch, Longswamp, Berks County, ca. 2005, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. This scratched goose egg features the artist Peter Fritsch's signature image of a bird poised on a flowering branch, as well as the blossoming of an intricate sunflower at the top, and a rosette on the bottom—all traditional motifs of the Pennsylvania Dutch. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/f4292870-cb8a-426e-bf88-3b5d366088a1/Photo+9.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Pennsylvania Dutch Easter eggs by Peter V. Fritsch, ca. 1975–2010, Longswamp, Berks County, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University, gift of Peter V. Fritsch. The prolific Pennsylvania Dutch artist and poet Peter V. Fritsch (1945–2015) created these Easter eggs as part of his annual tradition of handcrafting tokens of appreciation for his friends and family. Rooted in both traditional and contemporary artistic expressions, Fritsch’s work evokes the connection of local culture with the land and the cycles of the seasons. His work features depictions of birds, plants, and creatures of the earth, along with geometric motifs inspired by stars and religious symbols. Using a variety of scratched and painted techniques, Peter Fritsch’s work embodied both the continuity and evolution of Pennsylvania Dutch Easter egg traditions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2b3d06b3-8377-44bd-8a06-22a11ebf87cf/Photo+10.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Good Friday egg (Kaarfreidaagsoi), Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University, gift of Carl and Minerva Arner. Emma Koenig of New Ringgold, Schuylkill County, gathered this Good Friday egg in the late twentieth century, and each year she placed one in the barn, farm house, coops, and sheds on the farm to bless and protect the buildings and their occupants from storms, lightning, and fire. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3190b6a0-09c2-45db-95a7-e38271978810/Photo+11.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out A traditional Pennsylvania Dutch scratched Easter egg, twentieth century, Berks County, private collection of Elaine Vardjan. Scratching eggs is a living tradition among the Pennsylvania Dutch, and is also one of the earliest types of Easter egg decoration documented in America among the descendants of German-speaking immigrants to Pennsylvania. The contents of this egg were blown out, and a cord was attached to hang the egg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3db99f79-811a-4b8e-af23-1bea3dd9828a/Photo+12.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Binsegraas Easter egg, Berks County, by Viola E. Miller (1916–1982), ca. 1960, private collection of Elaine Vardjan, Oley, Berks County. A traditional form of appliqué Easter egg decoration in Pennsylvania involves carefully removing long strands of the inner pith of bulrushes and applying it to the egg’s surface, along with fabric accents applied below the pith, or as surface elements on top of the pith. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/ae6048d9-efe5-4ec6-a232-92e5fd3d55fb/Photo+13.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out German Binsegraas Easter egg, Berks County, twentieth century, private collection of Elaine Vardjan, Oley, Berks County. This German Easter egg displays an intricate use of bulrush pith and fabric to form a tulip, with a slot for a concealed scroll to extend out from a spool in the egg that provides the German text: “Heiterkeit und Frohsein sind die Sonne unter der alles gedeiht!” (Merriment and gaiety are the sun under which all things thrive!).] https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/f6bc4933-0d3a-4ed0-a421-88b9d3fa1b27/Photo+14.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Redware Easter eggs and charger, Lester Breininger, Berks County, 1979–2006, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University, and private collections of Elaine Vardjan and Ruth Laubenstein Yablonski. Lester Breininger (1935–2011) was the leading Pennsylvania Dutch redware potter of the twentieth century. He opened a pottery workshop in Robesonia, Berks County, in 1965. With roots tracing back to German-speaking settlers who arrived in Berks County in 1712, Lester, a ninth-generation descendant, aimed to bring back early techniques, materials, and styles in both practical and decorative items. Each year, he made redware Easter eggs with bright yellow slip and carved patterns that revealed the red clay beneath. This technique, called sgraffito, parallels the colorful scratched eggs in the Pennsylvania Dutch tradition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/9697c99f-bb9f-4c0c-af84-8cf5cbf55abe/Photo+15.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out A traditional Pennsylvania Dutch pin-scratched duck egg, Pennsylvania, nineteenth century, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University.

In 1844, George and Susanna Strunk of Strodes Mill, Mifflin County, crafted a traditional scratched Easter egg for their two-year-old son, A. James Strunk (1841–1871). Using onion skins, they dyed the egg a russet red color and decorated it with flowers, stars, an owl, a turtle, a bird, the initials “A. J. S.,” and the date. The egg has been passed down by members of the family for generations, a rare survival from that time due to the fragility of natural eggs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/7dfd21ab-4ebb-4c5e-ae9f-2d23698f9aa3/Photo+17.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Two scratched Easter eggs by Peter V. Fritsch, 2007 and 2002, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University, gift of Peter V. Fritsch.

Many of Fritsch’s close relatives and friends received eggs each year, carefully inscribed in a variety of scratched and painted techniques. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/a7a36448-4a4f-44b4-92f5-7a77a66f1cf9/Photo+18.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Scratched Easter egg as a token of affection, Pennsylvania, 1920, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. In 1920, an anonymous admirer in Pennsylvania scratched this Easter egg as a token of affection for “Miss Betty.” The egg features images of stars, a large white heart, and an anchor, symbolizing devotion and steadfastness. The golden-brown color likely resulted from using onion skins or black walnut shells as dye materials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/c61e3cee-7d68-4c66-880f-1f4d60603ac2/Photo+19.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Pennsylvania Dutch Easter eggs by Peter V.

Fritsch, Longswamp, Berks County, 2002, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. The Tree of Life, teeming with birds, is an important religious symbol of life and rebirth for the Pennsylvania Dutch. This egg by Peter V. Fritsch features an original Pennsylvania Dutch poem on the reverse side. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/b1831adf-e084-4bc1-99f8-0b834a696bdc/Photo+21.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Tree of Life, birth and baptismal certificate, Walker Township, Centre County, 1813, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. This colorful manuscript certificate features the Tree of Life. In the devotional traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch, this symbol reflects their religious appreciation for the natural world. The Tree of Life motifs have stylized branches and birds arranged symmetrically around the form of a horn—a symbol of annunciation—as the trunk. The central inscription records the baptism of Moses Dunckel, son of Jacob and Lowis (Krebs) Dunckel, on April 14, 1813. Manuscript artists, who were often community schoolteachers, regularly created these certificates for Pennsylvania Dutch families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/8f4d1ebd-b8f5-4fc1-a162-64d1bac8824d/Photo+22.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Tree of Life, Johnny Claypoole, Lenhartsville, Berks County, 1977, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. While the folk-art portrayal of the Pennsylvania Dutch Tree of Life is sometimes dismissed as kitsch or merely a polite, secular form of decoration, this interpretation is misleading. Similar to other classic motifs that incorporate depictions of the natural world and celestial bodies, the Tree of Life not only holds biblical significance but also exemplifies a tendency in Protestant devotional art traditions to celebrate the natural world as an expression of the sacred. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/f2dea465-3c62-4da3-a6eb-085dc8062fa5/Photo+23.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Easter rabbit, after Conrad Gilbert, ca. 1810, theorem painting on velvet by Sandra Jean Coldren, private collection of Elaine Vardjan, Oley, Berks County. Schuylkill County schoolmaster Conrad Gilbert’s Easter rabbit images, the earliest in America, continue to inspire artists in Pennsylvania to embrace the roots of this custom. Here Sandra Jean Coldren faithfully recreates Gilbert’s original paintings, depicting the Easter hare with a basket of colored eggs. Two of Gilbert’s paintings survive, which he made as rewards of merit for his students when he taught in a one-room school in present-day Orwigsburg, Schuylkill County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/f219639f-4485-4f45-9636-06a7c49fae57/Photo+24.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Conrad Gilbert house blessing, Tulpehocken, Berks County, 1784, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University Johann Conrad Gilbert (1743–1812) penned this hand-written house blessing titled “A Beautiful Christian House Blessing for All Pious House Fathers and House Mothers” (Ein schöner Christlicher Hauß segen, für alle fromme Hauß väter und Hauß mütter). It was created for the family of Adam Schmidt of Tulpehocken Township, Berks County. The blessing provides comforting words of advice for Pennsylvania Dutch households, meant to be displayed and read aloud during special occasions, such as Easter Day, and in times of trouble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/82b7188f-c100-4a06-b28e-8a160c889b39/Photo+25.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Easter rabbit watercolor illustration, Peter V. Fritsch, Longswamp, Berks County, 2009, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University, gift of Peter V. Fritsch. In this watercolor painting, Peter V. Fritsch depicts a naturalistic Easter rabbit carrying eggs in a woven basket to children on Easter morning. The title in Pennsylvania Dutch reads: “Der Oschder Haas kummt mit die Oier!” (The Easter rabbit comes bearing the eggs!). Fritsch was also a bringer of eggs, creating elaborately decorated chicken, goose, and peacock eggs each year for friends and family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3f04bc52-ab5d-449f-acdf-ab316dd8b50e/Photo+26.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Pennsylvania Dutch traditional Easter basket, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. Pennsylvania Dutch families were the first Americans to create Easter baskets. Children decorated household baskets and lined them with straw or dried meadow grass. This split-oak gathering basket, complete with a sturdy handle, was ideal for Easter egg hunts. Hand-built straw Easter nest, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. A parallel to the Easter basket tradition is the creation of Easter nests by children who expected overnight visits from the Easter rabbit. These nests were made outdoors, on windows, or on the floor in the home. Children thoughtfully chose soft nest materials and accessible locations for the Easter rabbit. Once a common practice among children in farm communities, the temporary nature of these nests has resulted in the absence of surviving examples. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/b284d2a4-2218-4614-8768-c34d837ff646/Photo+27.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Egg-shaped Easter rabbit candy holders, Germany, ca. 1900, private collection of Ed and Kirsten Gyllenhaal. These candy holders feature classic images of the Easter rabbit in his traditional role as the bringer of eggs amidst symbols of spring such as pussy willows and hatching chicks. The candy holders were mass produced in Germany and imported to the United States. These candy holders were first printed as flat, full-color lithographs that were carefully sliced and adhered in strips to the convex surface of pressed paper egg-forms. Although chocolate was also a major export from Germany, these candy holders typically were filled by confectioners in urban areas of the United States who sold them directly to customers. The candy holders were not only containers for Easter candy, but they also served as decorations that could be reused year after year. The simplest way to display them is to suspend them from a loop of string inserted between the two halves of the egg. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/01107eac-075d-4466-a031-c669bbc040ea/Photo+28.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out German papier mâché Easter rabbit candy holder, Marolin Manufaktur, Steinach, Germany, private collection of Ed and Kirsten Gyllenhaal, Bryn Athyn, Montgomery County. This papier mâché candy holder was made by the German company Marolin, established in 1900. Marolin is known for producing finely cast Nativity figures, holiday decorations, and toys. The company specializes in hollow candy holders, including traditional Easter rabbit forms. The company’s unique papier mâché formula was nearly lost after World War II when the GDR in East Germany banned the promotion of religious figures. However, during German reunification in 1990, the family company resumed private operations. The original recipe, barely legible, was unexpectedly rediscovered on the back of a cellar door, allowing Marolin to resume its tradition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/f7eecbea-6a96-4751-a844-28bb2a16adb9/Photo+29.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Two Victorian candy holders, Germany, ca. 1900, private collection of Ed and Kirsten Gyllenhaal. These classic Victorian illustrations show a child gathering Easter eggs from the Easter rabbit, accompanied by images of rabbits and chicks. Employing mass production methods, the images were printed and applied to pressed paper candy holders. After cutting the lithograph prints into strips, they were carefully adhered to the round surface of the egg. This technique preceded the use of steam-operated presses that shaped printed images into convex egg forms for the two halves of the candy holders.

Ruzha is the name for the mallow flower, but the design often depicts flowers in general, suggesting a connection between earthly and celestial geometry. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/de1a0186-92ca-4e7d-a54c-2c0d0dc241ba/Photo+35.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Two miniature pysanky eggs by Elaine Vardjan, ca. 1990, private collection of Elaine Vardjan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/2690f3e4-3b5b-4342-a0c7-41f818a917b1/Photo+36.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Ukrainian paska (Easter) basket, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. Eastern Orthodox and Ukrainian Catholic families bring baskets of food to the evening Easter Vigil service to receive a blessing from the priest. These baskets hold small, carefully arranged portions of the Easter meal, including elaborately formed paska bread, butter, cheese, ham, sausage, salt, horseradish, and Easter eggs. The eggs come in two types: krashanky, hard boiled and dyed red for consumption, and pysanky, decorated as gifts and blessings for the home, garden, and farm. These samples of blessed foods are traditionally consumed by the family to bless and nourish both body and spirit, and also to receive protection from illness and calamity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/53eefc0b-84c9-4be0-a971-88efd92f987a/Photo+37.jpg Newsletter - Easter Eggs: Symbols of Rebirth and Renewal - Make it stand out Traditional pysanky eggs, ca. 1980–2010, private collection of Elaine Vardjan, Oley, Berks County.

From Cloister Studio to Castle - Make it stand out Although he was involved in designing architecture for most of his adult life, Raymond Pitcairn was not able to read architectural drawings. Instead, he was able to participate in design work by having his craftsmen create tri-dimensional models. “My lack of training in draftsmanship and the reading of architectural drawings, I endeavored early in the work to offset through dealing with the designs in the form of scale and full-sized models” (Raymond Pitcairn. Letter to John T. Comes. 1920). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3cc612d4-4fc4-4d40-991e-131218cfc0b1/image+1.jpeg Newsletter - Why Did Raymond Pitcairn Build Glencairn?

For the eighth year in a row, Glencairn Museum has exhibited an original, three-dimensional Nativity scene by Karen Loccisano and R. Michael Palan, a husband-and-wife artist team. They report that their contribution to this year’s World Nativities exhibition—which they have been creating throughout the coronavirus pandemic—has been “a source of strength and inspiration” to them. In American Nativity, they have reimagined what the Nativity miracle might have looked like if it had taken place in the 1930s during the Dust Bowl, with migrant American farmers making their way from the drought-stricken southern plains to California.

This cast-stone Nativity, made in the early part of the 20th century, was purchased in the 1970s from a Roman Catholic Church in Boston, Massachusetts, by Antonio Morales. Morales and his family lived in Lynn, a suburb of Boston. For forty years, during the first week of December, Morales and his sons would build a wooden stable for these figures on the family’s front porch. They provided a spotlight, intended to represent the Star of Bethlehem, to shine down from above on the Christ Child. The display would always remain on their porch until the weekend after Epiphany (January 6th), traditionally the day on which the Wise Men arrived bearing gifts for Jesus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/5ce61b7c-62d0-4c0b-bc0b-f0a08fe8cb0c/fig-9-usa-ohio.jpeg Newsletter - World Nativities Exhibition 2021 - Make it stand out Figure 9. Trina Paulus first discovered clay in the backyard of her home in Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of eight.

The unique folk tradition of the szopka dates to the late 18th and early 19th centuries. In 2013 this szopka by Zbigniew Gillert was the first-place winner in a competition in the category of medium-sized Nativity scenes (szopki). Every December since 1937 a national szopka competition has taken place in the main square of Krakow. The Nativity scene takes the form of an elaborate building facade in which the tiny figures of the Holy Family are surrounded with fanciful architectural features including columns, elaborate molding, and towers topped with onion-shaped domes—features often seen on Krakow’s historic buildings.

Edwards with his design for a finial at the top of Glencairn’s tower in the shape of a knight riding on horseback. The concept was never realized; a much simpler finial was chosen instead, but a plaster and metal model of the design in two pieces still exists. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623258303869-KEFGAIX6GFHJPATO5FN5/Ewe+iPhone.jpeg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 3: Perhaps the most frequently repeated motif in Glencairn is the grouping of ram, ewe, and lambs, symbolizing the importance of family. The massive, bronze double door leading from the Great Hall to the Cloister features a hand-wrought Monel metal handle on each side. The left handle is in the form of a ewe, and the one on the right is a ram (see Figure 4). This is an early pencil sketch of the ewe handle made during the development of the concept. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623258375962-KQ7MDD7L4H205OQHT1PQ/Ewe+1.jpeg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 4: The finished handle in Monel metal on the inside of Glencairn’s Cloister double door (see Figure 3). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623247831049-JA18NQ8DM5E9QVB5X54Y/winfredhyatt.jpeg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 5: Winfred S.

Hyatt (see Figure 7). A watercolor painting made by Hyatt during the design process is in the Museum’s collection. Pitcairn was politically active throughout his adult life, believing, in accordance with his New Church beliefs, that civic participation in public life was included in the biblical command to love one’s neighbor. Hyatt’s design of this window would have gone through a meticulous process before being approved by Pitcairn, and would most likely have included an initial discussion of ideas, sketches (each one being critiqued), a scale watercolor, and finally a full-sized cartoon. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623248008021-JYS2QN21ZF9CRDB1JPLH/patriotic-window-complete+-+1.jpg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 7: The finished stained-glass window in Glencairn’s Upper Hall (see Figure 6). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623248194232-T8LR4C58ZDO3G0FFUW1D/robert-g-glenn%2Bsized.jpg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 8: Robert G.

Glenn, assembled from glass mosaic tesserae handmade in the Bryn Athyn glassworks, are found on the ceiling of Glencairn’s Great Hall. The yellow stars on the ceiling are scattered throughout a field of commercially produced blue acoustic tiles. Towering above numerous examples of Christian stained glass and sculpture on the walls and floor beneath, the ceiling of the Great Hall seems to evoke both the night sky and the divine organization of the cosmos. Star ceilings were common in ancient Egyptian tombs and temples, and are known in several other cultures and time periods. The precise inspiration for Raymond Pitcairn’s decision to decorate the ceiling of his home with stars is not known. However, he would have been aware of similar star ceilings in Europe, including those in Early Christian churches in Ravenna, Italy, and in Sainte-Chapelle, a thirteenth-century royal chapel in Paris, France. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623248358355-70D2NP2F5DR761CP2I8G/105+Arcadia+Croft.jpeg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 10: Samuel Croft II prepares yellow mosaic stars designed by Robert G.

Tweedale’s stone carving tools. Tweedale was known to be an extremely conscientious craftsman. While working on the Bryn Athyn Cathedral project in 1920, he accidentally broke off a small piece from a larger section of stone he was working on. He was so distressed by this that he left work for the day and went home. He then proceeded to write a note to Raymond Pitcairn, telling him, “if you wish me to return I will do so, if you do not, I thank you for the fair treatment I received while in your employ.” Pitcairn was apparently amused by this note, and Tweedale, of course, was asked to return. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623258759140-Y7ZX7C3YV96EYF0JG82Z/Benny+2.jpeg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 13: One of the “Benny” or “Pete” eagles outside the Great Hall above Glencairn’s north porch.

A gilded wood model of a section of this top rail is in the Museum’s collection. According to art historian Michael W. Cothren, “Medieval artists commonly used a wavy, arching band of clouds (frequently placed across the corner of a rectangular composition) to show a separation between the earthly realm below and the heavenly realm above. For example, when a disembodied hand of God emerges from heaven to command or bless a situation taking place on earth, it is often overlapped by an arching band of ‘clouds of heaven.’” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1623248772756-4TR13SP550UNQG35UG6E/modern+photo+of+crib+Jeck.jpg Newsletter - “Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists” - Make it stand out Figure 15: Lachlan Pitcairn’s infant crib was carved by Frank Jeck in 1922.

Because the woman appears in heaven, in this window the clouds of heaven are depicted both above the woman’s head and below her feet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1614886384444-WY599NOQW3FSYVHTFDIN/fig+2+-+1.jpeg Newsletter - The “Clouds of Heaven” Motif in Art Created for Glencairn Figure 2: This reliquary box portrays the martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket, who was murdered by the knights of the English King Henry II.

Before the exhibition could open, however, the COVID-19 shutdown happened. Thanks to our partnership with Google Arts & Culture (see below), we were able to make some parts of the exhibition available online. Some visitors were also able to see the exhibition in person in the fall, but to make up for lost time we have now extended it through October 2021. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609346112959-COHZUZ2KJBH38NHG4FYK/google-arts-objects.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In April Glencairn Museum launched its official partnership with Google Arts & Culture, and since then over 150 works of art from the Museum’s permanent collection have been published online. This innovative Google platform is an immersive way to experience art, history, and culture from more than two thousand organizations worldwide. Glencairn’s growing virtual collection may be viewed here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609346565246-U45OSM39AP1HBWZFCU83/google-+jewelry-exhibit.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review One of the many useful features of Google Arts & Culture is the ability to curate virtual exhibits based on objects in a museum’s collection. Glencairn’s first “online exhibit” with Google Arts & Culture is based on our current temporary exhibition in the Upper Hall: Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt. To see the online exhibit, go here: Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609346739983-5X7RM27Q8UO0JXIUGVM1/ostrich-egg.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In March, at the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, we asked our social media followers, “What do you want to see?” This was the beginning of our #GlencairnBehindTheScenes series, which provided our audience with virtual access to parts of Glencairn not normally visible to the general public, as well as photos of objects in storage. This ostrich egg is in Glencairn’s ancient Egyptian collection. The Egyptians sometimes emptied ostrich eggs and used them for carrying liquids such as water and milk. In some contexts, eggs could symbolize new life and rebirth, not unlike the symbolism of modern Christian Easter eggs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609346942497-I0YTVTHMAL8WEY3KNDSN/bell-kitchen.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review Another post in our #GlencairnBehindTheScenes series was about the chimes in the kitchen pantry. When Glencairn was a home, every evening after dinner Raymond Pitcairn led a short worship service in Glencairn’s fifth-floor chapel. After the dishes from the evening meal were washed, a button was pressed in the kitchen that rang chimes throughout the building. This was the signal for the family, and for any household staff who wished to attend, to gather in the chapel. The service included saying the Lord’s Prayer, readings from Scripture, and the singing of hymns a capella. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609347059922-Q9Z76H6XRNYWYH862N8B/jigsaw-puzzle.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review Life in quarantine in 2020 has made puzzle enthusiasts of many of us, so Glencairn established an online presence with Jigsaw Planet. The global “slow art” movement is about slowing down and taking time to notice the fine details of individual works of art. We’ve noticed that the average amount of time people spend assembling online puzzles of Glencairn’s artworks is between five and ten minutes—the minimum time recommended by proponents of “slow art.” Visit Glencairn Museum at Jigsaw Planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609347177877-P9G2L8FQP6VTHASPRJJC/pike-banner.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In May Glencairn Museum installed a new banner at our Huntingdon Pike entrance, designed in-house by Glencairn, to thank healthcare professionals and all other essential workers who have worked hard and sacrificed during the pandemic. As Mister Rogers would say, we should “look for the helpers”—but we should also not forget to thank them! We were also able to provide 120 lunches to the ICU and radiology departments at Abington Hospital. In addition, members of Glencairn’s staff personally funded 100 face masks from the Bryn Athyn Mask Initiative, which we delivered to Holy Redeemer Hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609347549561-O1OCJHVMQMM9C072S5NJ/educational-resources.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In 2020 we added a new Educational Resources page to our website. These materials cover topics connected to the Museum’s current programs and collections, such as life in the ancient world and in the Middle Ages. With special activities for different age groups—and new items added regularly with links posted on Glencairn’s social media—our hope is that these online resources will help build understanding and foster empathy with young people as they learn about the beliefs and practices of human beings throughout time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609348628389-ITGP5WTZTF4JIM3K33R6/15215.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In the summer of 2020 we launched #GlencairnMuseumKids. This new hashtag and logo design were created to brand new content, delivered through social media, providing opportunities for children to engage in Glencairn’s collections and programs in new and fun ways. During the time when we are unable to host in person our usual groups of school children, homeschoolers, and families, this new initiative has become a way for us to stay connected to our community of Glencairn Museum children and families. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609348110941-CJ6D49NRX326W5G6WOT9/cairnwood-hall.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review This year we have continued digitizing a broad array of Bryn Athyn Historic District archival materials, which can be accessed online.

A smartphone or device is required. This tour, delivered through a web application, is free of charge. After searching for specific architectural features, participants can post photographs of them (including “selfies”) on social media. Tag us @glencairnmuseum and use #glencairnscavengerhunt when you post your photos. Get started here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609425832268-R7TWGD1XYHCD74IFS0GM/halloween-event.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review Our annual family-friendly Halloween event, inspired by the Harry Potter book series by J.K. Rowling, moved outdoors this year. Reimagined as “Myth & Magic at the Museum,” this outdoor digital Scavenger Hunt was available from October 26 to November 1 through a web-based application. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609425930427-85VSJ4PONOWM2HMBCTDA/discover-glencairn.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review This fall Glencairn debuted “Discover Glencairn,” a self-guided, socially-distanced tour using our web-based application. The new tour included the exterior and Cloister garden, the mosaic Bird Room, the Upper Hall, and the Great Hall. Access to the Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt exhibition was also included. This tour was designed to provide visitors with a safe, enjoyable, and private experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609426025984-8YHX2L6BKZSPLWBGONI4/medieval-festival.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review This year Glencairn’s annual Medieval Festival took place as an online experience. Participants traveled on a virtual “pilgrimage” to learn about religious sites in medieval Europe, and enjoyed demonstrations by our participating artisans. Family-friendly activities were made available on Glencairn’s website. The pilgrimage and demonstrator videos are available on our YouTube channel here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609426171096-WB4C6QOWL4XV1OEJKJEP/discover-christmas.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review Beginning in November, and for several weeks in December until the second COVID-19 shutdown, Glencairn was able to offer “Discover Christmas at Glencairn.” For this self-guided tour, delivered on cell phones via our web-based application, the first floor of Glencairn was decorated for the holidays with poinsettias, wreaths, a Christmas tree with antique glass ornaments, and more. Children were invited to participate in the Nativity Seek-and-Find (and were rewarded with a prize). Christmas decorations used by the Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn family when they lived at Glencairn were on display, including a miniature diorama with Swedish tomtar (elves), a Steiff ride-on donkey, and a large three-part Nativity scene made for the Pitcairns (and on display at Glencairn every year since 1939). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609348830184-YNZ1CAPP5PBIPW3C8QP3/advent-calendar.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review In 2020, instead of the usual in-person experience, Glencairn Museum’s annual World Nativities exhibition is taking place online for all to enjoy. For many centuries the story of the birth of Jesus Christ has been depicted through the creative lens of artists from a wide variety of spiritual, intellectual, and cultural backgrounds. Every day, from December 1 through December 25, a new Nativity scene from Glencairn’s collection appeared in our online Advent calendar. Original settings for many of the Nativities were created by Bryn Athyn artist Kathleen Glenn Pitcairn. Viewers were able to follow Glencairn’s social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr) to receive each day’s Nativity in their newsfeed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1609426288384-FNDELNOIOGQK28J4VOOX/homeschool-day.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn 2020: The Year in Review Glencairn’s annual Christmas Homeschool Day took place during the month of December as a free, virtual experience. Participants were able to explore our multi-sensory Christmas Nativity Explorer’s Notebook and make a Christmas craft.

The figures, inspired by the art of the Romanesque and Gothic periods of medieval history, are handmade using dolomite stone from the Pyrenees in southern France. The stone is crushed and materials are added so that it can be cast and painted. According to the Sisters of Bethlehem, the creation of art is an important part of their monastic life: “The artwork of the monks and monastic sisters is not only a means for each monastery to earn its daily bread, but it is also a service of the Church. This Christian art is meant to be an expression of faith, an unveiling of the Mystery of God, who is Beauty and Goodness. Man is called to enter into this Mystery” (https://english.bethleem.org). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577810827700-AMHCYED5YNOBK8YKSOT6/Banners+sized.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 1: Six vintage, medieval-style banners with the words “Merry Christmas” in several languages hang in the Great Hall above Glencairn’s World Nativities exhibition.

Oberammergau has been exporting its woodcarvings for hundreds of years, and today approximately 200 woodcarvers work in the village. Hans Heinzeller (1896-1973) began his own business as a wood sculptor in Oberammergau in 1945, and founded a workshop together with his son in 1949. Today their woodcarvings can be found all over the world; a Nativity with four-foot high figures was made in 1965 for Westminster Abbey, where it is still used today. The third generation of the Heinzeller family has been running the workshop since 1993. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577811057356-I9DQPV0ZQBE2SHWWFW6L/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 5: This Nativity was inspired by the construction of a traditional Hmong home in Laos, a country in Southeast Asia.

The history of pottery making in the area dates to pre-Hispanic times. There are two distinctive decorative themes that often occur in Tonalá pieces— the nahual, and the flor de Tonalá (Tonalá flower). The nahual is a pre-Hispanic shape-shifter, who switches between human and animal forms. The flor de Tonalá is a distinctive flower with an oval center and rounded petals that form a scalloped design. Gold accents are painted on all of the figures, including the distinctive haloes that are formed from thin pieces of wire with balls on the end.

She was put up for adoption in Quebec and spent most of her childhood in an orphanage and foster care. In her twenties she began to work with red clay, creating figures informed by her Mohawk heritage. In 2005 one of her Nativities was chosen for a Canadian Christmas stamp (the U.S. rate stamp). Animals important to indigenous life accompany this Nativity—a bison, bear, wolf, and owl.

The figures, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are made from terracotta, wood, wire, cloth and San Leucio silks. A Presepio presents the Nativity scene within the setting of daily life in 18th-century Naples, a bustling port city. This artistic tradition has been called "the translation of the Bible into Neapolitan dialect.” The figures are clothed in period costumes typical of the aristocracy, peasants, and visiting foreigners. The birth of Jesus is depicted as taking place amid crumbling Roman ruins, signifying the end of the old Roman world and the dawn of Christianity.

Outside the tavern, a gambler tries to lure people into a game. Extra cards are hidden inside his cummerbund. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577811913807-YEE4TFAN20JVDRWY8Y6K/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 15: R. Michael Palan and Karen Loccisano, a husband-and-wife team of professional artists from Bridgewater, New Jersey, have created their own interpretation of a Neapolitan Presepio (see Figure 13 above). Why build a Presepio? According to Michael, “We wanted to work on a large scale project together. We were drawn to the Angel Tree and the Neapolitan figures surrounding it at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.” The Met’s 18th-century Neapolitan Presepio is exhibited annually beneath their Christmas tree.

Michael Palan and Karen Loccisano have continued to add new elements to their Presepio (see Figure 15 above). A new addition this year is the figure of a Sibyl. In ancient Greece a Sibyl was an oracle who uttered prophesies under divine guidance. Michelangelo painted five Sibyls, said to have foretold the birth of a Savior, on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The Sibyl depicted in this scene holds a box containing the tools for the Crucifixion, because she has forseen the future of the Christ Child. (On loan from Karen Loccisano and R. Michael Palan) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577812131097-KS1Q1HJYKNUN560BGUV6/Nancy+sized.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 17: In 2018 Nancy Schnarr-Bruell, an artist from Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, created this three-dimensional version of an illustration of the Adoration of the Shepherds from The Christ Child, a 1931 children’s book by Maud and Miska Petersham. The Petershams, a husband-and-wife artist team, were well known in the first half of the 20th century as illustrators and authors of children’s literature. Before illustrating The Christ Child, the Petershams traveled together for three months in Palestine to research the clothing and customs of the Holy Land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577812179518-KR84FAWQQUTZ012TMYIE/orthwein+sized.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 18: Christina Orthwein lives with her family in Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, where she works in her home studio and teaches ceramics and photography at Bryn Athyn College (see www.ChristinaOrthwein.com). According to Orthwein, “The inspiration for this piece comes from the sacred, cozy feeling of a family circled around the Bible for a Christmas morning worship service.” Visual inspirations for this stoneware Nativity triptych include the Gothic architecture of Glencairn and the Celtic lettering style found throughout the building, and also the General Church seal, a circular bronze plaque designed in the 1930s by Raymond Pitcairn and metalworker Parke E. Edwards. (The General Church seal may be seen above the fireplace in Glencairn’s Great Hall.) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1577980899053-ASUWEKCZ17L33O7H6HK4/flight+book+of+hours+sized.jpg Newsletter - Glencairn Museum’s World Nativities Exhibition Figure 19: A special section of the World Nativities exhibition explores artistic depictions of the story of the Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:13–23). One of Glencairn’s illustrations of the story, from a personal prayer book known as the Book of Hours, dates to the first quarter of the 15th century. Books of Hours contained devotions appropriate for the eight canonical hours of the day, as well as other prayers and texts. One section in this codex, known as the Hours of the Virgin, contains eight different illustrations of the Nativity story. The landscape in this illustration of the Flight into Egypt is rocky, with brown ground and palm trees. Other illustrations in Glencairn’s example of the Hours of the Virgin include rolling green hills, so the setting of this Flight scene may be intended to evoke travel through the desert. This Book of Hours may be seen on Glencairn’s “Christmas in the Castle” tour. https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/newsletter/2019/12/16/christmas-in-the-castle-the-guided-tour monthly 0.5 2023-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576520933135-RY8HUSX39X85BNV3Y6NN/lead+photo+sized.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Museum Educator Amy Glenn leads a “Christmas in the Castle” tour in Glencairn’s Great Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576521203239-I8ZPLZM1XW0RYTVF955D/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 1: The Pitcairns’ large Christmas tree was placed in the Great Hall. It reached beyond the second-floor balcony. This photograph shows that the Great Hall was decorated with hundreds of candles, which were lit for the annual “Glencairn Sing,” a concert attended by about 600 people during the time of the Pitcairns. The lighting of the candles was a special part of the evening. One longtime attendee remembers, “About eight or ten young girls, many of them granddaughters [of the Pitcairns], dressed in formal evening gowns, each with a long taper in hand, walk up to Mildred, who sits with lighted candle, from which she lights, in turn, the tapers. Then the girls go to various stations—some to the tall candelabra, some to the balconies—and there light the hundreds of candles, placed ready for this lighting.” (Jennie Gaskell) The concert still takes place at Glencairn Museum in the Great Hall every year; it has always featured “The Glencairn Horns,” a group of horns from the Philadelphia Orchestra playing Christmas hymns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576521393955-X4WWNVOEX6LZ72HJCHOX/steiff-donkey.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 2: This large ride-on donkey (apparent also in the historic photo above, Figure 1) was donated to Glencairn Museum by Pitcairn family members several years ago. It was made by the famous Steiff factory in Germany in the late 1940s or early 1950s. A number of ride-on toys were kept at the bottom of the Pitcairns’ Christmas tree every year, and one of their grandsons has wonderful memories of this: “Nothing in my life ever exceeded the joy and fascination of unwrapping the latest version of the Steiff toys on wheels that were added every year. . . . with any luck you’d get pushed by uncles and aunts to the envy of younger cousins.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576521485316-J5GMJS8SUK5HAADK42P1/1954+Christmas+card+sized.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 3: Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn pose for their 1954 Christmas card photo in front of the Upper Hall fireplace. The Pitcairns’ Christmas decorating style featured large red and white poinsettia plants, natural wreaths, and candelabra. The poinsettias were grown in their own greenhouses across the street from Glencairn. The large painting of the Adoration of the Shepherds was made by artist Frank Snyder; it was displayed on the wall above the fireplace every year during the Christmas season. It was adapted from an illustration in The Christ Child, a 1931 children’s book by Maud and Miska Petersham. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576522396856-8JGWICPZZKOW0UAM6J9J/Upper+Hall+sized.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 4: When Glencairn became a museum in the 1980s, it was found that the large painting by Frank Snyder of the Adoration of the Shepherds (Figure 3) was beyond repair. However, thanks to generous donors, a full-sized reinterpretation of the painting was made in 2016 by Bryn Athyn artist Edwin Herder. Herder’s modern re-interpretation of this painting was informed by two different sources: the original illustration in the Petershams’ book, The Christ Child, published in 1931, and Frank Snyder’s interpretation of the illustration painted in the late 1930s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576522544161-8UOXDA96X2LY45QZA7SG/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 5: This three-part Nativity scene was commissioned in the 1920s by Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn for use in their home during the Christmas season. The scenes were made by Winfred Hyatt, the principal stained-glass artist and designer for Bryn Athyn Cathedral, and later Glencairn. Hyatt made the figures from plaster, and designed the scenes with the help of other craftsmen from Raymond Pitcairn’s Bryn Athyn Studios. It was first used at Cairnwood, Raymond’s childhood home next door to Glencairn, where the scenes were placed in front of the fireplace in the main hall. This Nativity was considered the most important element in the elaborate decorations at Cairnwood, where it was not seen by the Pitcairn children until Christmas morning. It moved with the family to Glencairn after the building was completed in 1939 and has been displayed annually in the apse at Glencairn ever since. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576522649768-I37W058XXTEDWIHBI27E/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 6: Mildred Pitcairn at Glencairn with her grandchildren in 1967, in front of a Nativity scene made by Winfred S.

Most of them lived close by, so the family’s Christmas day meal took place at a long table that stretched from the Upper Hall fireplace toward the other end of the room. This photograph of the Christmas dinner table being prepared was taken in 1961. (Raymond and Mildred can be seen arranging flowers for the table.) Adults sat at the main table while the children had their own smaller tables nearby. A menu from 1960 included 4 turkeys, potatoes, gravy, 5 pounds of chestnuts, and 5 pounds of cranberries. The meal was served by 7 waitresses, with a staff of 5 in the kitchen. A display of Christmas cards is apparent on the wall by the window. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576523173018-U8ZUK4QLS1RJ9E2NQRJP/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 8: This photo from the 1960s features Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn surrounded by family members, at the center of their holiday table in the Upper Hall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576523292233-YKGG9DDHM1QTMXP0J3P4/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 9: This photo, taken in Glencairn’s Great Hall in 1961, shows a children’s table at the Pitcairn family’s Christmas dinner (see Figure 7). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576523467678-NYDJN2EM1SZKKUSHX3Y6/table+decorations+sized.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 10: Glencairn Museum’s collection includes many of the original decorations used by the Pitcairns on their Christmas dinner table. Photographs from the 1960s (see Figures 7 and 8) show that the centerpiece of the table was Santa in his sleigh, being pulled by a magnificent reindeer. This decoration is actually a candy container made in Germany, most likely in the 1920s; the head of the reindeer comes off to reveal a silver-colored cardboard compartment for holding the candy. The large ceramic polar bear was made by Bing and Grondahl, a Danish company known for its collectible figurines, as well as their annual Christmas plates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576527045764-RXIO8NYKW3CJ14MUICN2/lawrence+saint+xmas+card+sized.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 11: Over the years the Pitcairn family received many Christmas cards designed by artists who worked for Raymond Pitcairn at Bryn Athyn Cathedral and Glencairn (e.g. Winfred Hyatt, Lawrence Saint, Robert Glenn, Albert Cullen, and Louis Ewald).

On Christmas Eve and Christmas day they attended services at Bryn Athyn Cathedral. This Christmas window in Glencairn’s chapel is an adaptation of a medieval window from Poitiers, France. It was made in Bryn Athyn in the stained-glass studio and glassworks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1576524398240-JZ0AZ49OXT9AGW4G9M7W/Lampshade+sized.jpg Newsletter - Christmas in the Castle: The Guided Tour Figure 14: This six-paneled lampshade is made of plexiglass, a material invented in the early 1930s.

These stars were likely painted in the early twentieth century, but show patterns of highly pronounced relief, produced by the sun’s weathering of the wooden barn siding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1553016372994-DD07SAZ9VBCN7BI0IQVB/02.jpg Newsletter - "Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars" Figure 2: A Classic Decorated Pennsylvania Barn, Albany Township, Berks County, ca. 1850, courtesy of Patrick J. Donmoyer. The barn standing at the location of the old Ida Bond Hotel was last painted in the 1980s by Johnny and Eric Claypoole of Lenhartsville, Berks County. The barn is a classic mid-nineteenth century Pennsylvania barn, featuring arches over the doors, and four twelve-pointed stars across the barn’s forebay siding. No longer visible are three sets of arches over the windows, with three crosses within the arches. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1553016424949-KRSUSNID29ZZMM5GY9AB/03.jpg Newsletter - "Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars" Figure 3: Map of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Courtesy of the Library of Congress. Photos of Stars by Patrick J. Donmoyer. Southeastern Pennsylvania is home to two distinct concentrations of barn decorations, defined by geographical features that separate the region. Star patterns are predominant along the Blue Mountain, part of the Appalachian Mountain Range bordering Berks, Northern Lehigh, and Schuylkill counties. Floral motifs are found throughout the Lehigh Valley, which spans Northampton, Lehigh, Bucks, and Montgomery counties. Barn stars are rarely found west of the Susquehanna, except for traditional wooden applique stars found in Bedford, Somerset, and Washington counties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1553016510300-4DMQQKFHCMX1U2STB4OG/04.jpg Newsletter - "Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars" Figure 4: A classic eight-pointed star, Albany Township, Berks County.

While the influence of specific artists can be clearly seen in certain communities, as a whole the entire region displays a broad range of patterns, colors, and proportions. Star patterns occur most commonly in eight, six, twelve, and four-pointed varieties, with numerous border styles and articulations between each point. Floral patterns combine lobed points, raindrop shapes in a variety of configurations, and borders suggesting the petals of a blossom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1553016661027-U22I9AKMOGD4CXX15T3T/07.jpg Newsletter - "Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars" Figure 7: An eight-pointed star within a star, characteristic of the Northern Berks-Lehigh border.

Reinert, ca. 1950, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University. This barn once stood in Bucks County, near the border with Lehigh and Montgomery, and was painted by the prolific Noah Weiss (1842-1907), a hotel proprietor, wood carver, and folk artist of the Lehigh Valley. Weiss had no formal training, but was a master carver and painter, producing religious scenes of biblical stories for the walls of his hotel. He was also an innovative designer whose elaborate barn stars featured intricate raindrop patterns in radial formations that have become classic in the Lehigh Valley. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1553018303950-K12EQOP894PAPPGP0H8E/13.jpg Newsletter - "Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars" Figure 13: Historic Lehigh County Barn, Photography by William Ferrell, ca. 1940, Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center, Kutztown University.

Some of these objects were dated and initialed to demonstrate a sense of pride in craftsmanship, while others, like the paddle, are anonymous and without attribution. Butter molds were once common everyday objects used by rural households where butter was made by hand. After the butter was churned, it was stored in one-pound blocks that were portioned using butter molds, which often bore carved geometric, botanical, or animal motifs that would leave a distinctive mark on the butter. This was not only a fancy presentation of the butter for household use, but also for sale, as a profitable dairy product, and decorations enhanced its salability.

Barn stars weather in the elements, and the interaction between the rays of the sun and the surface of the wood produces a pronounced relief over the course of many years. This relief, often called a “ghost,” is still visible even if the star is painted over. Although many people have assumed that “ghosts” are carved, they are not. Instead, they are produced unintentionally by a process called differential solar weathering. Barn star artists, like Johnny Claypoole (1921-2004) and his son Eric use this weathering process as a guide for restoration of the old stars. Gift of Bart Hill, nephew of Milton Hill.

Claypoole painted commercial hex sign disks like his mentor, but unlike Ott, he also painted dozens of historic barns with stars in the region.

Usually appearing as a jackal, or a man with a jackal head, Anubis (amulet at center) was a funerary deity closely connected to mummification. According to myth, after Isis and Nephthys collected the dismembered pieces of Osiris, Anubis assisted them in putting the god back together again, binding his body parts with linen and thereby creating the first mummy (see Figure 7).

This god is often shown attending to the mummified deceased. Individuals may have wanted amulets of Anubis to offer protection to their mummified remains (see Figure 6).

Despite his somewhat ferocious appearance, this dwarf god with a leonine face was a protective force who warded off evil with his expressive grimaces and with the knives he often carried. A protector of the household, Bes was also a guardian of mothers and children. Often shown with musical instruments, Bes had connections to celebration and fertility.

The Glencairn collection has Bes amulets which depict Bes fully (Figure 8 above, 15.JW.17) and others which take the form of only his head (15.JW.241), highlighting his grimacing visage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1517330542806-E6TNPICQW3ZLLZ1ZSQD5/figure+10.jpg Newsletter - Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Glencairn’s Egyptian Collection Figure 10: Horus. The son of Osiris and Isis, Horus was the heir to his father’s throne. Horus was a god of kingship, and the reigning pharaoh was thought to be his manifestation on earth. Usually depicted as a man with the head of a falcon, Horus could also be shown fully in falcon form. In several examples in the Glencairn collection, amulets of falcons wearing the double crown certainly depict this deity. Glencairn Museum 15.JW.345. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1517330718949-3D2K5MM8TRZXS108SHXN/figure+11.jpg Newsletter - Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Glencairn’s Egyptian Collection Figure 11: Re-Horakhty. The Egyptians had a number of solar deities, or figures thought to represent a sun god (see Figure 12). Like Horus, many of these sun gods take the form of falcons. In contrast to the falcon wearing the double crown (Figure 10), amulets of a falcon wearing the circular sun disk on its head probably depict the solar god Re-Horakhty. In addition to crowned falcons, the collection also has amulets of falcons without any identifying headgear.

One of the most popular goddesses, Sekhmet takes the form of a lioness or a lioness-headed woman. A fierce and warlike goddess, she can also exhibit a protective side. There are a number of goddesses who can be depicted as lionesses, including Mut, Pakhet, and Tefnut. The peaceful domestic cat goddess, Bastet, can also appear in leonine form.

Pregnant and nursing women used amulets of Taweret to protect themselves and their babies from evil spirits. Like Bes, this goddess is fearsome in appearance, combining the physical attributes of the hippopotamus, crocodile, and lion. Glencairn has a number of beaded necklaces which incorporate Taweret amulets, including this one with fifteen gold amulets showing the goddess in profile. Glencairn Museum 15.JW.573.

The larger object in this photo is an aegis, or shield, with a depiction of the head of a leonine goddess, probably Bastet or Tefnut, wearing a sundisk crown with a rearing uraeus. The bottom part of the aegis is a stylized form of a beaded wesekh (or “broad”) collar (see Figure 17). The aegis is a protective symbol, and this example was made by beating a thin sheet of metal (probably gold) into a mold. The detail on this amulet is exquisite.

Representations of Djed pillars first appear in the late Old Kingdom (ca. 2350 BCE) and were often placed within the wrappings of a mummy to ensure protection for the deceased (see Figures 18, 19). The back of this cartonnage mummy case of a priest named Nebnetcheru features a large image of a djed pillar, which would provide magical protection for his body.

Glencairn necklace 15.JW.43 features an amulet of a fish. Given the importance of the Nile River, it is not surprising that fish imagery is found in amulets. One type of fish, the tilapia, was a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. Fish amulets may also have been worn to protect one from drowning. Glencairn Museum 15.JW.431. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1517337386299-18JZNW80D4EAAJCWIYZ6/figure+22.jpg Newsletter - Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Glencairn’s Egyptian Collection Figure 22: Fish. A famous Egyptian tale describes a young woman who is upset at losing her fish pendant in the water while taking part in a royal boating party. She refuses to row until she gets her fish pendant back. A lovely cosmetic jar in the British Museum (EA2572) shows a fish-shaped pendant affixed to the braid of a kneeling young woman (see also Figure 21).

Many of the Glencairn necklaces feature floral elements. Most are made of faience and may have originally come from elaborate broad collars with a floral design. These faience collars imitate actual floral collars, which may have been worn on festive occasions during life and were certainly used as decoration in funeral settings (see Figure 24). Glencairn Museum 15.JW.515. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1517337868153-JG32VDY4TJ5P981UA9FN/figure+24.jpg Newsletter - Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Glencairn’s Egyptian Collection Figure 24: Floral Elements. Certain flowers were of special importance to the Egyptians. The lotus (or more correctly, the water lily) was a symbol of rebirth and regeneration. The mandrake had sensual undertones and may have been considered an aphrodisiac. Cornflowers and poppies are also represented in the faience beads at Glencairn. This floral collar made from papyrus, olive leaves, persea leaves, and nightshade berries was found in Tutankhamun’s embalming cache, and may have been worn by a mourner at his funerary banquet.

The humble (and bothersome) fly was a popular form for amulets. Usually given as a reward for brave service in battle, the fly amulet may have represented a wish for resilience. It is also possible that small fly amulets may have been worn in the hope of warding off pesky attacks from these flying creatures.

The word nefer, perhaps best known to many as an element in the name Nefertiti, meant “beautiful” (see Figure 27). The sign (Gardiner signlist F35) depicts an animal’s heart and windpipe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1517339174703-OZZEOWQLRO2KBL7WPUX0/figure+27.jpg Newsletter - Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Glencairn’s Egyptian Collection Figure 27: Nefer-sign.

Amulets of papyrus (or wadj) columns were very popular in ancient Egypt. Papyrus was a riverine plant that thrived in ancient times (and was the material out of which the writing material of the same name was made). This type of amulet is usually made of material with a greenish color (whether faience or stone), and to the Egyptians the color green was emblematic of life and the potential for rebirth. There are specific magical spells associated with amulets of this shape.

Perhaps the most popular of all Egyptian amulets, the wedjat eye, or the “eye of Horus” amulet, represents the eye of that god, which had been damaged in a battle with his uncle, the god Seth (see also Figure 34). The injured eye was restored by means of magical powers and became whole and healthy again. The word wedjat means “healthy” or “sound,” and this amulet was worn as a wish for protection and health.

The acrylic paint is applied with an airbrush, which I use for a couple of reasons. I basically learned to paint with it, and used it exclusively for more than 20 years. Because I am so comfortable with it, I use it to get the first stages of the painting done. The next step is using oil paint and transparent oil glazes on top of the underpainting. Glazes allow a richness and depth of color that is hard to achieve with opaque paints. Both the airbrush and the glazes are transparent and allow the white of the canvas to show through, adding an extra depth and luminosity.” (Edwin Herder) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1513282459207-A84HQXXLVC40HI9JY991/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - The Adoration of the Shepherds: A Life-Size Nativity Painting at Glencairn Museum Figure 6: “Mary and the baby, nearly complete, with the oil glazes applied.

Two Holiday Exhibitions and a “Christmas in the Castle” Tour Figure 9: This Nativity was made by artisans in Burkina Faso, West Africa, using the ancient technique of lost wax casting. Each figure is first modeled in beeswax, then covered with a layer of clay, with a hole left at the top of the clay layer. The clay is then left to harden in the sun, after which the piece is held briefly in a fire so that the beeswax inside the clay melts. The bronze is prepared by melting scrap metal over a fire, and once it has become liquid it is poured into the clay mold. When the metal has hardened the outer clay layer is broken and removed. The bronze pieces are then rubbed with sand to give them a smooth finish.

It takes the form of an elaborate building facade in which the tiny figures of the Holy Family are surrounded with fanciful architectural features similar to those seen on Krakow’s historic buildings.

The home was dedicated on May 22, 1895. During the dedication service, the Bible and volumes of the theological works of Emanuel Swedenborg were placed in the chapel in a special mahogany cabinet. The Pitcairns had originally commissioned the cabinet for their home in Philadelphia, where it hung on the east wall of their parlor. (It was made in 1888 by G. Vollmer & Son, 1108 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia.) The wall is painted with an inscription in Hebrew in gilded letters: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might” (Deuteronomy 6:4–5). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1492623558599-HOSJ8LVA6AUJIE7ETJZX/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - The Chapels at Cairnwood and Glencairn Figure 4: The Bible cabinet is carved with alpha and omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.

Both of these themes are repeated elsewhere in the chapel; the angels with flaming swords are also carved in stone at the chapel’s entrance, and the four living creatures are depicted in an elaborate mosaic on the ceiling.

According to the museum’s website, it was decided that “the building's design should make specific celestial references, such as an east-facing main entrance and a dome that opens to the sky. . . The building’s distinctive curvilinear form, evoking a wind-sculpted rock formation, grew out of this early work, forming the basis for the architecture.” Photo: Crispin Paine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1490629047245-ZWEKSMQAH7HA6IZ2TUE7/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Religious Objects in Museums: An Interview with Crispin Paine At the conclusion of the annual Sacred Arts Festival at Glencairn Museum, visitors are invited to participate in the ritual dismantling of a Tibetan sand mandala.

Although appearing to be a normal chair in all respects, the following symbolism is attributed to it: The red paint symbolized the blood of Christ; the two arches in the cresting rail—the two tablets of the law given to Moses; the two large vertical stiles—the pillars of the church; the three vertical spindles—the apostle Paul, Jesus and Peter, the Rock; the front lower stretcher—the Judas the betrayer (upon which the patient should rest her right foot in disdain); the three rings on the legs—the Holy Trinity; and the low construction of the chair was to humble the patient to receive healing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1488567508231-PWRE26Y70QBE2CFD1FJK/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Powwowing in Pennsylvania: healing rituals of the dutch country” Figure 2: Removing warts by the light of the waxing moon with a potato is one of the most common powwow experiences in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Early accounts provide details of this procedure, and evidence of “plugged” trees was still found in the 20th century. Left: Manuscript Directions for Transfering Illness Into a Tree, ca. 1860-1880 Heilman Collection of Patrick J. Donmoyer. These manuscript instructions provide a process for ritually transferring an illness into a tree: “Take a goose quill and cut it of[f] where it begins to be hollow, then scrape off a little from each nail of the hands and feets put it into the quill & stop it up after bore a hole towards the rise of the sun into a tree that bears no fruit put the quill with the scraping of the nails into the hole and with three strokes close up the Hole with a bung maid of pine wood. It must be done on the first Friday in new moon in the morning.” The timing of this ritual was crucial, for the new moon was believed to exert a force down and inward, driving the illness into the tree; it was believed that the movement of the sun westward would reinforce the same movement of the illness into the tree. Friday was considered a beneficial day to begin such an undertaking because of its association with the crucifixion of Christ on Good Friday, and the initiation of the salvation and healing of the world in Christian tradition. Middle: Plugged Oak Tree Remnant, Mid-19th century, [Schaefferstown, Lebanon County] Thomas R. Brendle Museum, Historic Schaefferstown. Discovered by a farmer chopping wood on a farm between Reistville and Schaefferstown, Lebanon County. According to local interpretation, the tree was believed to have been close to a century old when the peg and ritual deposit was placed for transferring illness into the tree, over a century prior to having been cut down. One hundred twenty annual growth rings were counted from the bark to the peg. Right: “Baum-Segen” Broadside Prayer and Tree Plugging Instructions, ca. 1790-1810 Heilman Collection of Patrick J. Donmoyer. “Who trusts in God, and believes in the blessing of Jacob and in Jesus Christ, will have the power to overcome the Devil, wild animals, and danger. Put it into a hole in a tree, and urinate into it, and hammer a plug thereafter. Tree, God bless me.” This broadside also has cryptic inscriptions that follow, which appear to be written in cypher. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1488573391002-XTL7SRC2RFWNXSZQWSME/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Powwowing in Pennsylvania: healing rituals of the dutch country” Figure 6: A fold-out print from the Sixth and Seventh Books of Moses, with Latin, Hebrew and German inscriptions. This work was alleged to be the extra-biblical writings of the ancient Hebrews and Christian Cabalists, but was first compiled from manuscript sources in the 1840s by German publisher Johann Scheibel, and sold as part of a series on ceremonial magic. Shortly thereafter it became one of the most widely circulated works to inspire folk ritual practice on both sides of the Atlantic. The work has a sinister connotation in Pennsylvania, however, as it includes instructions for cast­ing the seven plagues that Moses visited upon Egypt, as well as instructions for spirit conjuration.

Donmoyer. Personal protective blessing produced in black and red ink on the verso of an unidentified, 18th-century Philadelphia printed estate document. Features a winged angel with a burning heart and crown, associated with the mystical vision of the Sophia or feminine aspect of the Holy Spirit, popular among certain Pietist groups in early Pennsylvania. The angel oversees the six days of creation, depicted within the Star of David, with planetary symbols within each point and the sun in the center. However, Mars is missing, and replaced by a “J”—possibly an intentional inversion of martial influence as a protection from violence. The inscription I.N.R.I. (Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum—Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews) is a common protective inscription, flanked above and below with three crosses, symbolic of the Holy Trinity.

Heilman Collection of Patrick J. Donmoyer. Media coverage appeared on a national scale in the wake of the murder of Nelson Rehmeyer in York County, dubbed the “Hex Murder.” The murderer, John Blymire, an escapee from a mental asylum, was convinced that Rehmeyer had placed a curse upon him. In an attempt to break the “hex” by obtaining a lock of hair or Rehmeyer’s copy of John George Hohman’s Long Lost Friend, Blymire and two accomplices John Curry and Wilbur Hess killed Rehmeyer on the night of Thanksgiving in 1928. The trial drew national media attention to the persistence of beliefs associated with powwow in Pennsylvania; however, this media attention was heavily biased, and promoted many negative, false, and culturally insensitive stereotypes about the Pennsylvania Dutch people. The incident is often indicated as the single-most defining moment in Pennsylvania’s anti-powwow crusade, which swept across the state. Threats from lawmakers, physicians’ councils, and civic organizations forced traditional healing to be conducted in secrecy for fear of prosecution for practicing medicine without a license. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1488996495747-OW5ZQE2KTL9DJA9GY81J/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Powwowing in Pennsylvania: healing rituals of the dutch country” Figure 28: Passing a child through a horse collar was once a common cure for the infant complaint known as being “livergrown” (Aagewaxe).

The figures, which date to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, are made from terracotta, wood, wire, cloth and San Leucio silks. There are four major themes in a Neapolitan Presepio: the Nativity of Jesus Christ, the Adoration of the Shepherds, the Adoration of the Wise Men, and the Inn at Bethlehem. In most Presepi, as in the one on exhibit at Glencairn, the four themes are combined into a single integrated scene.

Michael Palan. A Presepio presents the birth of Jesus Christ in the context of an 18th-century Italian village. The Holy Family is presented within a Roman ruin, which represents the end of the pagan world, from the remnants of which Christianity was born. The Magi in this Nativity represent three different ages (young, middle aged, and elderly) as well as three different continents (Africa, Asia, and Europe). On loan from Karen Loccisano and R.

The name Belsnickel is derived from German and means “St. Nicholas dressed in fur.” This Pennsylvania Dutch “Nicholas” came carrying treats or presents to reward obedient children who could recite a Bible verse or say a prayer. However, Belsnickel was also ready with a rod, switch, or buggy whip to punish any badly behaved children. The Belsnickel dolls pictured here were used by Pennsylvania Dutch families early in the 20th century.

Lauschan families produced Christmas ornaments as a cottage industry in home workshops; men did the glassblowing, women did the silvering, and children helped with the decorating. In 1880 F.W. Woolworth placed an order for these ornaments from an importing firm in Philadelphia. Sales were so strong over the next few years that in 1890 Woolworth traveled to Lauscha personally and placed an order for more than 200,000 ornaments.

A square, recessed niche is still visible above the open doorway. At some point the relief was removed, and now all five Assyrian reliefs are on exhibit in Glencairn's Ancient Near East gallery.

In December, 1940, a little more than a year after the Blockade of Germany had begun, Life magazine observed that “the War has reached long tentacles into the coziest corners of U.S. industry, and, as a result, the U.S. this year for the first time in history will be self-sufficient in the matter of Christmas-tree ornaments.” On loan from the National Christmas Center and Museum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529093564182-WHZH6M95F8L0SYQ3AKCT/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas Traditions and World Nativities: Two Exhibitions at Glencairn Museum Figure 2: During World War II the popular “silvered” ornaments, which were coated on the inside with silver nitrate to reflect light from candles and electric bulbs, were phased out as chemical plants were converted to support the war effort. American manufacturers adapted to this situation by producing translucent glass balls in various colors. A spray of tinsel was sometimes inserted into the ornament to make it sparkle. As metal shortages increased the tinsel was eliminated, and the metal caps on ornaments were replaced with cardboard tops.

Throughout the Soviet era, the religious celebration of Christmas was replaced by a Festival of Winter. New Year trees were permitted beginning in 1935, and the first New Year ornaments were produced in Moscow in 1936–1937. A variety of tree ornaments were available, but due to the Marxist-Leninist doctrine of state atheism, ornaments in the shape of biblical figures or angels were not produced or sold in the Soviet Union.

Brother Bob, whose special love of Christmas has earned him the nickname “Brother Christmas,” joined the Brothers of the Poor of St. Francis in 1958. St. Francis is credited with popularizing the tradition of the Nativity scene, famously staging a live Nativity in the woods near Assisi, Italy, in 1223. The 1950s Lionel steam locomotive and rolling stock were donated by Louise Chardos and her brothers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529093739599-4UVBDW3QDFOFFRFHOKB8/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - Christmas Traditions and World Nativities: Two Exhibitions at Glencairn Museum Figure 7: These Nativity figures were made by the artist Anna Fehrle (1892–1981). The heads, hands and feet of each figure were carved from wood and then painted. Fehrle used fabric-wrapped wire to form and pose the bodies. She also clothed them and made the additional equipment. Anna Fehrle was born in the town of Schwäbisch Gmünd, Germany, in 1892. Her brother was the well-known sculptor Jakob Wilhelm Fehrle. Jakob is credited with encouraging Anna to pursue wood carving. Anna established her own workshop, and exhibited regularly at the fairs in Leipzig and Frankfurt. She was known for her Nativities, dolls, and angels.

Many families in the region built their own elaborate Nativity scenes in hand-made wooden boxes, and displayed them in their homes during the Christmas season.

At one time Ludwig Kraus, who carved this large Nativity from basswood, had 45 woodcarvers working for him in his studio. This Nativity, which Kraus carved between 1958 and 1965, was in the window of Marshall Field’s flagship store in Chicago at Christmastime. Kraus died in 1982, but the woodcarving shop continues under his nephew, Ernst Kraus, who apprenticed with his uncle.

The Pitcairn Nativity has been displayed annually in Glencairn’s Upper Hall since the building was completed in 1939. In the 1950s the Pitcairns commissioned a similar Nativity for the Eisenhower family, which was placed beside the Christmas tree in the East Room of the White House. This year the scenes have been given new life with professionally designed interior lighting. https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/newsletter/november-2015-a-nativity-inspired-by-bryn-athyn-architecture.html monthly 0.5 2023-01-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529095380659-BCLO2O98X5WGXULMISSD/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - A Nativity Inspired by Bryn Athyn Architecture The Glencairn Nativity for the New Century by Navidad Nativities.

Each element in this lithograph contains personal or symbolic meaning for Chagall: a Russian village for the earthly home; a candlestick for the Hebrew Bible, or Judaism; a clock for time, past or present; Madonna and Child for Mary and Jesus, or the relationship of mother and child; a red ox for sacrifice; the Crucifixion for Christ. A prayer shawl covers the loins of Jesus to remind us, lest we forget, that Christ was a Jew. That Chagall, himself a Jew, would have used the Crucifixion in many of his works suggests that he must have understood the event as one of the most poignant symbols of suffering in all of history. Chagall believed the image of the Crucifixion to be denominationally unspecific. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597470483-5KOG733KLNRVQ8BKVNTW/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 2: Creation. Chagall opens his 1960 Bible Suite with a stunning and imaginative depiction of creation. The ethereal blues and the floating images of birds, animals, and angels swirl around a central sun/moon image. Set at an angle to each other, Eve seems to emerge from Adam’s side, recalling the biblical story of the creation of Eve from the rib of Adam. All elements combine to portray a celebratory view of God’s creation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597513871-GSFIZJ3X680MPROOU4OB/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 3: Moses. Chagall has chosen to depict Moses surrounded in bright red, while clutching the two Tablets of the Law that God has given him. Perhaps he is hearing the words, “If you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession among all the peoples, for all the earth is Mine” (Exodus 19:5). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597542105-SJG09XUC4VW26OD1ROJR/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 4: Joshua and the Rock of Shechem. “On that day at Shechem, Joshua made a covenant for the people and he made a fixed rule for them. Joshua recorded all this in a book of divine instruction. He took a great stone and set it up at the foot of the oak in the sacred precinct of the Lord; and Joshua said to all the people, ‘See, this very stone shall be a witness against us, for it heard all the words that the Lord spoke to us; it shall be a witness against you, lest you break faith with your God’” (Joshua 24:25-27). Here the prophet holds the book in which he has recorded divine instruction. The stone marker is carved with an anachronistic Star of David, symbolizing for Chagall the Israelites’ covenant with God. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597588256-0LL50QXKEHQ16SIYXRM2/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 5: David with His Harp. “Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit leave him” (I Samuel 16:23). Chagall chose vibrant tones of red, orange, and violet to portray David playing the harp. He appears intently listening to the quieting music that flows from the instrument. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597612249-EQT7B7PB7HIVIALYDP1H/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 6: Solomon. “Zadok the priest then took the horn of oil from the tent and anointed Solomon. Then they blew the trumpet, and all the people said, ‘Long live King Solomon!’” (I Kings 1:39). This joyous depiction of King Solomon dancing and celebrating as he raises his hands in praise reminds us of how much Chagall esteemed this leader of Israel. Surrounding Solomon are various symbols of Jewish life: a sheep for sacrifice, the Tablets of the Law, and the Menorah. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597644114-KHK7HYFLOOYZE4ET2AI8/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 7: Promise to Jerusalem. God’s covenant with Israel is reiterated through three symbolic representations: the angel unfurling his drapery to reveal his face; the rainbow and angel which appeared to Noah; and the disk inscribed with God’s name present at Creation. As one of the thirty-nine etchings that were printed from 1952 to 1956, the symbolism of the text takes on an additional meaning for Chagall with the rebirth of the Jewish people after the Holocaust and the 1948 establishment of the State of Israel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529597671425-EYZ3GAW444NR5HXKW380/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - “Marc Chagall and the Bible” Figure 8: The Sacrifice of Abraham. Chagall’s expression of man’s faith in God reaches a climax in this dramatic scene. Abraham gently holds Isaac’s leg with one hand and lifts the knife with the other. The sudden descent of the angel arrests his movement and Abraham’s submissive eyes are locked onto God’s messenger. The small white ram that will replace Isaac as the offering emerges from the dense thicket on the left. In describing his childhood nightmares, Chagall alludes to the frightening imagery of this sacrifice. https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/newsletter/march-2015-the-cloisters-connection.html monthly 0.5 2023-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1529598992078-9WSCE88D04X9BXS43UG4/image-asset.jpeg Newsletter - The Cloisters Connection A view of the Cuxa Cloister at the Cloisters Museum, New York City.

Santa appeared on the covers of souvenir holiday booklets given away by stores and on colorful “trade cards” included with purchases. Trade cards were purchased by merchants in bulk, and then overprinted with the name and address of the business, or a specific product, on the front. Trade cards were given to customers throughout the year, but the Christmas-themed cards were the most popular. Many Victorian families cherished them and preserved them in special albums. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1530632386351-MG98XQCUA0B42JZIHEJ3/november+2014+figure+14+revised.jpg Newsletter - World Nativities and a Century of Santa: Two Christmas Exhibitions at Glencairn Figure 14: In 1897 Virginia O’Hanlon, an 8-year-old girl, wrote her famous letter about Santa Claus to the editor of the New York Sun.

His eyes are open, signaling His watchfulness over the world even in sleep. In the corners of the icon’s raised frame appear the symbols of the four authors of the Gospels. These symbols were common in medieval art, with each author assigned his own winged emblem: Matthew, a man, Mark, a lion, Luke, an ox, and John, an eagle.

World Nativities - Make it stand out New Jersey artists Karen Loccisano and R. Michael Palan, a husband-and-wife team, handcrafted this Nativity scene between 2014 and 2023.

The installation, made by A.J. DiAntonio of Navidad Nativities in Bucks County, PA, features his personal collection of paper mache Nativity figures made by the Italian companies Fontanini and Euromarchi (1930s–1960s). For more information and an interview with DiAntonio, see Glencairn Museum News 11, 2023: “The Grand Cartapesta Presepe: A Collector’s Vision.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/3f6a39b8-9339-44ac-ba69-d20fd571d946/Figure+11.jpeg Exhibitions - World Nativities - Make it stand out Born in Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, Alma Loretto Maestas began making pottery at the age of nine. She started crafting Nacimientos(Nativities) in the 1960s, several of which are now in the collection of the Smithsonian Institution. The Christ Child rests within a traditional cradleboard, and the angel’s mouth is open, in the tradition of the renowned Pueblo storyteller figures. The wise men hold gifts that reflect Pueblo culture: corn, bread, and chili peppers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/27e97111-b90b-40d5-b24a-9eb3e47c8a94/Figure+5.jpeg Exhibitions - World Nativities - Make it stand out An artist working for the Presbyterian Handicraft Center in the Republic of Cameroon (West Central Africa) created this 17-piece Nativity. The pieces were shaped from clay, fired, and dipped in a solution containing eucalyptus to give them a bronze-like appearance.

Work is an important part of their daily monastic schedule. The figures are handmade using dolomite stone from the Pyrenees in southern France. The stone is crushed and materials are added so that it can be cast and painted. The art of the Romanesque and Gothic periods of medieval history provide inspiration for these Nativity figures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1568231152424-JIGK6NR2CSQ38LJN91NP/Trein+sized.jpg Exhibitions - World Nativities Folk artist Jennie Trein (1879-1977) created her first Christmas putz in 1908, and for the next six decades she built a new one each year—complete with lights, sound effects, and narration. The Trein putz, which grew to include over 1000 pieces, was part of the Advent season for generations of visitors who were invited into her living room to view the display. https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2019/3/6/pitcairn-family-easter-scenes monthly 0.5 2019-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1552068858256-XCJ6JG7TWPVIEQ11Z5OK/easter-scenes-hyatt+6.jpg Exhibitions - Pitcairn Family Easter Scenes https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2019/3/1/hex-signs-sacred-and-celestial-symbolism-in-pennsylvania-dutch-barn-stars monthly 0.5 2019-03-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1546542440119-IQHCUNCNSN8NS1PTTOT6/barn+star+sized.jpg Exhibitions - Hex Signs: Sacred and Celestial Symbolism in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2018/11/23/world-nativities monthly 0.5 2018-12-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1532616813571-588YYA1VOWNJ7U7BYVFY/image-asset.jpeg Exhibitions - WORLD NATIVITIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1543266866959-K81N17RCL58A3VOBKAC6/47160319_511837489313960_1652810922827186176_n.jpg Exhibitions - WORLD NATIVITIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1543337322040-EWWHKGGBTLVJNK13RFYX/aj.jpg Exhibitions - WORLD NATIVITIES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1543413792719-Y0WQT3H3DRUX72OHOUA8/jeronimo-lozano-glencairn-door+-+1.jpg Exhibitions - WORLD NATIVITIES https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2018/4/22/nishan-yardumian-a-window-to-the-soul monthly 0.5 2018-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1508290170504-N4AWGO9G6O2G17BOZ7QX/Yardumian-Annunciation-shephards.jpg Exhibitions - A Window to the Soul: Nishan Yardumian’s Biblical Art https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2018/2/10/pitcairn-family-easter-scenes monthly 0.5 2018-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1508289932778-2NC2QSY7LH84QKRAP3GY/february+2016+figure+3+album.jpg Exhibitions - Pitcairn Family Easter Scenes https://www.glencairnmuseum.org/exhibitions-full/2017/11/24/do-you-see-what-i-see-imagery-in-nativity-scenes monthly 0.5 2018-01-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1501789262906-J7HFASU91PL5L5P0XB7K/image-asset.jpeg Exhibitions - Do You See What I See?

Here Noah stands in the foreground, guiding the animals as they walk up the walkway into the ark, two by two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1467217300752-OXTY8W0I53EL2NFSJCSN/molas+2.jpg Molas - Figure 4: David and Goliath In the background, a small boy with a slingshot and staff prepares to fight Goliath, the champion of the Philistines, who looms large with spear and armor. David’s skillful use of the seemingly inferior sling and stone laid the nine-foot warrior flat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1467217301664-2JYHN0XFRUAST5DHWQS7/molas+3.jpg Molas - Figure 5: Daniel in the Lions’ Den. Sentenced by King Darius the Mede to a cruel death in the lions’ den for praying to “any god or man” besides him, Daniel nonetheless prays to God. Lions surround him in his prison cell, but he continues to trust in God while a guard waits outside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1467217301712-F97U4RPBYDL3WF13M6AL/molas+4.jpg Molas - Figure 6: Jonah in the Mouth of the Great Fish The story of Jonah and the great fish has captured the imagination of many cultures, including that of the Cuna Indians. After the crew of the ship casts Jonah over the side, a great fish comes from the ocean depths to swallow the prophet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1467217302693-UG1DY5YUBIJKR975Y53C/molas+5.jpg Molas - Figure 7: Mary and the Baby Jesus With folded hands, Mary worships the Christ Child in the manger.

Italy (figures), USA (cardboard stable). During the 1950s and 60s, many American families purchased inexpensive Nativity sets like this one at five-and-dime stores like Woolworth’s, W.T. Grant, and G.C. Murphy. (Several of the figures in this set have a Murphy’s sticker on the base.) Hand painted in Italy, the figures are hollow, with thin papier-mache walls. Most starter sets included the Holy Family, the three wise men, an ox and a donkey, but many different kinds of figures could be bought individually. Nativity sets owned by families were often assembled over a period of years, resulting in figures of different sizes, materials, and countries of origin.

Pot-metal glass. France, Abbey of Saint-Denis (near Paris), circa 1145. This stained glass panel depicts a legend surrounding the story of the Flight into Egypt. The biblical story from the Gospel of Matthew describes how Joseph was commanded in a dream to escape from Herod with Mary and the baby Jesus to Egypt. The legend from Pseudo-Matthew shown in this panel, not told in the Gospels, tells of a moment on the journey when Mary is weary and in need of food. Jesus commands the palm tree to bend down so his mother can pluck the fruit.

Hyatt (1891-1959). The scenes were commissioned by Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn for use in their home at Cairnwood, where they were considered to be the most important element in the elaborate Christmas decorations in the parlor hall. When the Pitcairn family moved to Glencairn in 1939 the three-part Nativity scene moved with them. Collection of Glencairn Museum.

It was set up in their home each Christmas season for over 150 years. The term putz comes from a German word meaning “to decorate,” and refers to a traditional Moravian landscaped Nativity scene. The Moravians first traveled to America as missionaries in the 18th century. They came to Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in 1740, and founded their first settlement in nearby Bethlehem in 1741. This photo dates to the 1940s; the Morris family putz is now in the collection of the Moravian Historical Society, Nazareth, PA.

In 1954 Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn commissioned Winfred S. Hyatt to make a Nativity scene for President and Mrs. Eisenhower. The scene was displayed in the East Room of the White House that same year. Two more scenes were added in 1957, when all three were displayed together next to the Christmas tree.

Hyatt, principal stained glass artist and designer for Bryn Athyn Cathedral and later Glencairn, made three Nativity scenes for the Raymond Pitcairn family during the 1920s.

Hyatt, very similar in appearance to the ones he made for the Pitcairn family. It is not known exactly when the scenes were made, but they were in use by 1929. After the Christmas Eve service in 1929, “the whole congregation filed out to the Choir Hall, where were three beautiful representations, modeled by Mr. Winfred Hyatt...” (New Church Life 1930, 189). Bryn Athyn Cathedral’s Nativity is still displayed each year at Christmas time in the choir hall.

In the 1950s Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn commissioned Hanna Binder, an artist from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to carve the human figures for a three-part Nativity scene for the Eisenhower White House.

In the year 1952 alone, 255 sets were sent out to New Church families around the world. According to Carita de Charms, chairman of the Creche Figure Project, “Not to my knowledge have we ever had such cooperation, such faithful working together of so many women to accomplish an end” (Carita de Charms, “Report of the Creche Figure Project,” Theta Alpha Journal 1952, 16).

This Nativity, made of wood, bamboo, and grass, is a replica of a traditional Hmong home in Laos, a country in Southeast Asia. Mary and Joseph attend the Christ Child who, in traditional Hmong fashion, hangs in a woven straw basket suspended from the rafters. The Hmong, an ethnic group in the mountainous regions of several different countries, are a minority group within Laos. They were introduced to Christianity by missionaries beginning in the 19th century. The figures for this Nativity are carved from a local soft wood, but not during the rainy season, when the wood is too wet.

This cardboard tabletop Nativity was published by Concordia Publishing House from illustrations first produced by artist George Hinke. A base is provided with special tabs to hold the 17 lithographed figures upright; each tab is carefully labeled so that even a child can assemble it. Hinke was born in 1883 in Berlin, Germany, where he trained as a painter. He immigrated to the United States in 1923. Hinke specialized in religious subjects and nostalgic scenes of small-town American life. He is best remembered for his illustrations of children’s books such as Joseph’s Story, which tells the Nativity story from Joseph’s point of view, and Jolly Old Santa Claus.

According to the New Testament the birthplace of Jesus was Bethlehem, a city on the central West Bank about six miles south of Jerusalem. Olivewood carving has provided local residents with a livelihood since the 16th and 17th centuries, when Franciscans taught the craft to local residents, who then began making small religious souvenirs for pilgrims. The wood comes from branches left over from the pruning of olive trees.

The Petershams were a husband-and-wife illustration and writing team who produced many books for children. In 1931 they published a Nativity book, The Christ Child, with text taken from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke (Garden City, NY: Doubleday). This pop-up paper crèche, produced in 1933, is adapted from illustrations in that book. In 1949, while living in Glencairn, Raymond and Mildred Pitcairn gave over 100 copies of The Christ Child as gifts to family and friends. The Pitcairns also commissioned two watercolor paintings by Maud Petersham that they used as Christmas cards in the 1960s.

Books of Hours were prayer books for the laity. Glencairn’s book includes a number of other pictures from the Christmas story, including the Annunciation to Mary, the Visitation of Mary to Elizabeth, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Wise Men, the Presentation in the Temple, the Massacre of the Innocents, and the Flight into Egypt. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1465484615479-RTCQHE0BJ7T1PD5Y8OQK/image-asset.jpeg Nativity - Visual Elements in the Nativity This Nativity set, which shows the shepherds and wise men in the act of adoration, was probably made in southern Germany around 1920. Figures like these were a cottage industry, made in small quantities in homes and sold by peddlers who traveled around Germany and neighboring countries. Chalkware sets were common in both middle class and lower middle class homes.

Most of the residents of the Pueblos have accepted Christianity as an addition to their own pre-Christian traditions. Today a number of Pueblo Indian artisans make Nativities regularly, along with other works such as the famous ceramic storyteller figures. Indian culture is rich with myths and stories, which are used to convey traditions and values. The storyteller and Nativity figures usually have closed eyes and an open mouth in order to “let the stories out.” Collection of Glencairn Museum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1465484684663-RIMPRFWFBWV5G087J0U7/image-asset.jpeg Nativity - Visual Elements in the Nativity This limestone relief with the Adoration of the Wise Men, in the collection of Glencairn Museum (09.SP.119), was made in 13th-century France. The first wise man, whose arm is broken off, is depicted kneeling and presenting a gift. All three men are represented as kings with crowns, in keeping with medieval tradition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1465484723575-MIS8K1IR0I82CZZO2P6A/image-asset.jpeg Nativity - Visual Elements in the Nativity Santons from France made from fired clay, cloth, and other materials, 2008. The French Revolution played a role in establishing the tradition of santons or “little saints.” Before the churches in France were closed in 1794 it was customary for them to put on Nativity plays; when the revolutionary authorities banned these plays individuals began to set up Nativities in their own homes. Santons come in a variety of sizes. These large figures of the three wise men were made by an artist signed “Marie,” from Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume.

Belsnickel brought treats or presents for obedient children, but was ready with a rod or switch to punish naughty ones. This figure will be part of the Christmas in Pennsylvania exhibition Friday, November 25, 2016 through Sunday, January 8, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1476375809050-NZEX3B2JXVBYN7A9L81X/pitcairn-santa-sleigh.jpg Christmas Photographs This Santa, sleigh and reindeer, probably dating to the 1920s, was discovered in a basement storage room in 2016. Old photographs show the decoration being used as the centerpiece for the Pitcairns’ Christmas dinner table. The head of the reindeer comes off to reveal a silver-colored cardboard compartment for holding candy. This well-known class of German candy containers is prized by collectors. Visitors to Glencairn Museum will be able to see the candy container on the "Christmas in the Castle" guided tour, running from Friday, November 25, 2016 through Sunday, January 8, 2017. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56829c58a2bab87f93ee4d6a/1475092130335-GGBT72U9RTEOGPN40BZ3/IMG_2832_edited.jpg Christmas Photographs Visitors to the 2015 year's Homeschool Days enjoy Glencairn's Christmas tree, decorated with vintage and antique ornaments.

He wears a long, hooded robe edged with white fur, and carries presents in a basket like those used by grape harvesters.
