5:45 PM: Interlude, the lighting of The Younger Foundation Crèche and Bethlehem Tree Collection with Gay Graeber Stubbs
The Younger Foundation Crèche and Bethlehem Tree Collection was inspired by a 1985 trip to New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art by Mrs. Jewell Younger Graeber of Marks, Mississippi. There she viewed the world-renowned Angel Tree exhibition and was so moved that she began her own collection of handcrafted Italian figurines. Now curated by Mrs. Graeber’s daughter, Gay Graeber Stubbs of Oxford, we welcome this exhibition to the Trustmark Grand Hall this holiday season.
6 PM: Music in the City presents the St. Andrew’s Episcopal Cathedral choir for holiday carols and music.
