St Elizabeth's Catholic Church Noble Park North Australian Nativity Scene- December 2017
The 2017 version of the ever-growing Australian Nativity Scene, at the entrance to St Elizabeth's Catholic Church in Dandenong North.
Although located in Dandenong North (107 Bakers Road) it is referred to as the 'Noble Park North parish' (suburb boundary across the road) to avoid confusion with nearby St Gerard's Catholic Church Dandenong North.
It takes St Elizabeth's parishioner and Nativity designer Wilson Fernandez months to get the Nativity ready, with parts and pieces sponsored by St Elizabeth's Parishioners. The Display is a recreation of not just the Nativity scene, but the entire city of Bethlehem. It has been featured in much of the local media (newspapers, etc), and last year featured on Seven News Melbourne:

During the Advent season, the figures of St Mary (on donkey) and St Joseph are moved closer towards the stable daily, until Christmas Day, where the Nativity scene is complete, with the baby Jesus in his manger. From December 25 up to the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6, the Three Magi make their trek towards the stable, when they arrive on January 6.
