Last week I took a trip to Mepkin Abbey in Monks Corner, South Carolina with members of St Joseph's Church to view the 93 Nativity Sets from around the World and Country.
Here is just a few of the 94 that are on display at the Abbey. Every year there are different creches. It was well worth the trip and a must see for everyone.
