This Christmas we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of our nativity scene in Central Park. I vividly remember, as do Bernadette Brady-Egan, our VP, and Alex Mejia, our Director of Data Services, what happened on December 19, 1995. Here is what I said about it on December 14, 2015.
“In 1995, when we displayed our first nativity scene in Central Park, Monsignor John G. Woolsey blessed it in front of our staff. Just as we were about to walk away, a beautiful rainbow appeared above. But it didn’t shine everywhere—it shone directly on our crèche. We take that as a sign that more than the public approves of our display.”
A miracle? A coincidence? You decide. We already have.
