Eric Montross, a humble star, lived the spirit of Christmas

Posted Dec 24, 2023
At the center of a live nativity scene at University Presbyterian Church in Chapel Hill this Christmas Eve will be a carved wooden manger made by a very tall man. Eric Montross, a UNC basketball star in the 1990s, was also a woodworker and a perfectionist. The manger on display was his third attempt at getting the humble resting place of the baby Jesus just right. (AOL.com)
