SPRING NATIVITY

A Christmas card commissioned by the Bishop of Norwich, Dr Launcelot Fleming, in 1967. In it Nativity and Resurrection themes – Christmas and Easter – are combined. Mary emerges through the roof of the stable, cradling the infant Jesus. Shoots thrust upwards and animals sing. Angels and planets whirl overhead.
