Christmas Cards for 2011
This year our Christmas cards celebrate "The First Noel" with images that draw attention to the actions of Joseph as he cares for Mary and Jesus. The cards show Joseph guiding Mary to the sheltering stable, bringing straw to the manger, building a warming fire, Carrying water from from a nearby well, and handing a bowl of food to Mary. These images were inspired from the experience of the Subanen crafters. Click on "Tata's Garden" in the menu above to see the connection between these cards and their everyday lives.
The Subanen artists hand cut the intricate designs of these cards and then carefully inlaid the designs with colored paper. Each card took about one hour to craft. The messages inside read: "Wishing You a Peaceful and Joyful Christmas", "Wishing You the many Blessings of Christmas", "Thinking of You at Christmas Time", "Wishing You Peace and Joy at Christmas and Throughout the New Year", and "Wishing You a Blessed Christmas and a Joyful New Year".
