Blanquerna-URL wishes you a Merry Christmas and a happy 2024!

The concept of an embrace has a wide range of meanings in the dictionary and all of them refer to actions that take into account the other person: caring for them, welcoming them, accepting them and including them. For this reason, this year this action is represented in the Blanquerna Foundation's Christmas greeting. The gesture is physical, but the action is an expression of effect and appreciation.

The illustration by Espe Maestro with the contribution of Hector Conde is the image chosen to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy start to the new year. It aims to convey the warmth of the festive season, the emotional connection and solidarity between people. "We decided to depict the idea of peace with an embrace, a symbol of love, peace and reconciliation," explains Maestro. Christmas is a time of coming together, and "we wanted to duplicate this gesture in a chain that could go on ad infinitum to represent the present, the past and the future. An eternal and necessary gesture."
