Nativity scene is a must-see

Bringing light to all: Lim arranging another nativity scene inside the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Macalister Road, George Town, Penang. — ZHAFARAN NASIB/ The Star

GEORGE TOWN: While you stroll around enjoying the city’s Christmas night scenes and savouring its hawker food, pause at the gates of the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows in Jalan Macalister to view a work of art depicting the Nativity of Jesus.

Using delicately moulded statues of almost a metre tall each, this faithful depiction of the manger where Jesus was said to have been born now adorns the church gates, which is a stone’s throw from Komtar and less than 50m walk from New Lane’s plethora of hawker stalls boasting classic Penang white curry noodles, fried oysters, beef ball noodles and much more.
