Exposition “Scènes de la vie de Jésus”

Come and discover this exhibition open to all, particularly adapted to family visits. From February 1 to November 5, 2023 at the Saint John Paul II Welcome Center of the Basilica of Lisieux.
Forty-four scenes in colored sandstone, representing about 300 characters, illustrate in an original and artistic way the whole life of Jesus, from the Nativity to the Cross, passing by the wedding at Cana, the meeting with Zacchaeus at Jericho, a whole series of parables, the Palm Sunday and the Acts of the Apostles. All these scenes were created by Eduardo and Maria Jesus Pias, Portuguese artists and sculptors from Galegos, in the Barcelos region. Each piece is unique and gives the whole a deep unity. As in a comic book, we see the life of Jesus in the Holy Land, through encounters and miracles, until his Passion and the birth of the Church after his death.
