Joy to the world nativity trail through birmingham. 5 nativity installations in Birmingham city centre bring the christmas story a modern twist. From our life sized hoody shepherds based on the youth that hang out in pigeon park to our 10ft gabrielle sitting on the art cafe roof. All these sculptures have been made by parishioners, by children from St Mary's Catholic school, Harborne Junior School, and St Mary Youth group. They were inspired by Faith through art an evangelising art group based at St Mary's Catholic Church, harborne.
