Professor builds intricate nativity scenes now on display
ERIE, Pa. (AP) — If you happen to be walking west on West Eighth Street by the Gannon University bookstore on your left, huddled inside your coat, watching your feet on the ice, take a second to look up.
Right there in the window, you'll find a little bit of Christmas magic.
A handmade, tiny nativity scene, complete with flying angels, is nestled into a "barn" with all the requisite items: a manger, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, animals, Magi and a bright star that might make you feel a bit warmer inside.
The scene was created by Michael DeSanctis, a fine arts, pastoral studies and theology professor at Gannon.
