Paul's Episcopal Church in Mishawaka in the Diocese of Northern Indiana gave new meaning to the incarnation this Advent when members created "Stations of the Nativity" as a collective meditative exercise for the season. The series of fourteen 18x24-inch images begins with the explosive cosmic spark of creation depicted in John's gospel (John 1:1-18) and concludes with the visit of the magi, represented by an imposing image of Herod against a backdrop of the skulls of the innocents slaughtered during his search to find and kill the infant Jesus.

The stations connected a strong parish tradition of meditating with the Stations of the Cross and an effort to incorporate members' voices, including graduate art students from the nearby University of Notre Dame in South Bend, said senior warden Jon Adamson. "To have the sanctuary change so much with these vibrant works … made it a very rich Advent," Adamson said. Christian Mystics Reveal Christian Mysticism. The Society of Saint John the Evangelist.
