Join us for Australia’s largest and most renowned traditional nativity scene now in its 22nd year at St. Elizabeth's Parish. The Australian Nativity Scene (ANS) has grown into a beloved Christmas tradition earning recognition as one of the finest nativity displays in the country.
This FREE event is open to all ages providing a magical experience for families parishioners and visitors alike.
Wilson Fernandez the designer creator and artist behind this annual masterpiece has crafted a scene that continues to captivate the community year after year. The ANS is the largest of its kind in Australia. Wilson has meticulously designed a village that includes handmade huts stables buildings bridges palaces houses and temples all surrounded by mountains rocks lakes and rivers. Each week the nativity scene conveys the story of Christmas—from Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter to the visit of the three kings and the holy family’s flight to Egypt.
We look forward to welcoming you to this extraordinary heartfelt Christmas tradition!
