See Contributed Christmas Crèche Photos Online

FCC News Desk

New Christmas crèche photos continue to come in to the Communications Office from readers and visitors to the website. 

This Christmas season, Pope Francis issued an apostolic letter, Admirabile signum, on the meaning and importance of nativity scenes, calling for this “wonderful sign” to be more widely displayed in family homes and public places throughout the world.

The photos are featured in a photo gallery on the NorwichDiocese.org/Advent webpage, along with other Advent resources.

Please name your photo with your family name or organization and location of the Christmas crèche. Send as a jpeg to editorial@norwichdiocese.net, using the highest resolution. On an iPhone that would be “Actual Size.”

Click here or on the photo to be taken directly to the gallery.
