Nativity scene goes up at Daley Plaza
Members of the God Squad, a team of volunteers from Chicago-area parishes, assemble a large Nativity displays in Chicago’s Daley Plaza on Nov. 27, 2022. The annual tradition, now in its 37th year, is the only display of the Nativity Scene in downtown Chicago’s public square. An opening ceremony featured inspirational speakers, Christmas music, and a blessing of the manger. The Nativity scene will be on display through Dec. 31. (Cyndy Flores-Mocarski/Chicago Catholic)
