Have a London Christmas - 2: Carols and Crib at Trafalgar Square

As we approach Christmas day I took the camera down to Trafalgar Square, home to various choirs throughout December singing carols to the public. This year the addition of a Nativity Crib art work was on display. On loan from St Martin in the Fields, the church which stands on the edges of Trafalgar Square itself, the nativity scene consists of several large wooden figures, including the crib and the baby Jesus made by Japanese non-Christian artist Tomoaki Suzuki who, according to the Westminster Cathedral blog "had an enjoyable time learning about the legends associated with Christmas, and then presented it in a Japanese idiom. Certainly it has the clean, minimalist look of a Japanese home (a tourist behind me said, "What? No straw!"). But it also has something of the renaissance about it."
