The Wedding
Shawl
Alfred
Aguilar
San Juan
Pueblo, New Mexico
One of the great
names among the Rio Grande Valley artists, Alfred Aguilar is a guardian of local
tradition. His nativity sets are a marriage of Christian and pre-Christian
customs. The wedding shawl brought as gift to the manger is a most appropriate
symbol of unity and complementarity. The two stick dancers, representing deer
and antelope, highlight honor and praise due to the Christchild. |
