 Although Antoni Gaudi was deeply religious, he was not worried about how long it would take to finish La Sagrada Familia. "My boss is not in a hurry, " he once said. Read about Gaudi  Nativity Facade. This was completed in Gaudi's lifetime before his sudden and tragic death in 1926 when he was hit by a tram while walking to the church from his house in Park Guell. Read biography of Antoni Gaudi
 The nativity facade has incredible detail with many intricate scupltures and carvings.
 Sagrada Familia means the Holy Family which is the theme of Nativity facade.
 The "Passion Facade'" building started in 1954. The sculptures depicting the crucified Jesus Christ were added in 1987. When they were unveiled, the more basic and abstract style of the figures sparked a storm of debate, because the style was so very different from Gaudí's. Gaudi is most famous for his avoidance of straight lines preferring the curved lines of nature, while the sculptures on the "Passion facade" are more linear and far from Gaudi’s style. However they are very impressive and created by famous Catalan sculptor and artist Josep Maria Subirachs i Sitjar.
