This Ukrainian-themed Nativity, made by Andrij and Luba Chornodolsky, including traditional attire crafted by Lydia Dychdala, was created for Glencairn Museum’s 2024 World Nativities exhibition. For 20 years, the Chornodolskys have dedicated themselves to preserving Ukrainian culture by creating immersive dioramas that showcase children’s stories and religious traditions, including Christmas and Easter.

In the fall of 2024, they created and curated Ukrainian Folk Tales and Traditions for Children: A Diorama Exhibition, on the campus of the Sisters of St. Basil the Great in Jenkintown.
