Throughout the Christian world, men have sought to express the Nativity of Christ in forms of art. Naturally in imagining the divine event man will see Mother and Son as belonging to his own race. So it is appropriate that in several Maori churches there are now stained glass windows with Maori figures and designs showing the Christian Message. The windows shown were done by the Dutch artist Martin Roestenburg of Taihape for the Catholic Church at Tokaanu. The sculpture, n bohemian granite, stands outside the Taupo Catholic Church. It has a height of fourteen feet and is based on a portrait of the late Mamae Hemi Titiroi. Mr Roestenburg also did the Christmas Group for the chapel windows of the Presbyterian Maori Girls College at Marton.
