WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) - More than 100 nativity sets are currently on display at a Wichita hospital.
Rev. Ken Schuckman of Via Christi St. Joseph and the Catholic Diocese in Wichita has collected over 100 unique sets over 45 years. He told KSN News that people would give him sets, and some he would collect on travels to places like Germany, Italy, Bangladesh, Nepal, Mexico and Portugal.
"People found out that I was kinda collecting them, and so they started giving them to me. On travels and trips, I would find different, unique ones from the counties I was in. So I would purchase them and just kinda went from there," Schuckman said.

Schuckman said it has been nine years since all the sets were put up.
