Normally the nativity scene is set up

some days before Christmas...and

children at home move the elements,

for example the three wise men

having them to go closer and closer

until arriving to the crib... well...

children and all those who have a

child soul…

NATIVITY

SCENE

To make the scene more real,

there are elements of a normal

life like we suppose it was in

that moment

people working in the

country, animals, and

the castle of Herodes

too...

At Christmas Eve, it is a tradition that all the family have dinner together,

It is a happy day for almost everybody, especially children. This is a

day in which people remember relatives that are not now with us.

The three wise men going to

visit the crib and to take

presents...The sixth of

January is the day when

children in Spain get their

presents too. This is a similar

scene that the village of

Manzanares perform live

along the main streets

Children this night go to

bed very nervous waiting

for the presents. It is said

that the ones that had a

bad behavior along the

year, only get cool...

Nativity scene in Las Palomas square in Manzanares.

Children from our village and our families perform this

typical Christmas scene.

Shepherds near the crib.. a very normal image in this type of performance...An

angel announce the "GOOD NEWS" of the birth of JESUS.

This can be a summary of all the Christmas feast in Manzanares.

Children and young people from our families perform this beautiful

scene...the crib...all of them waiting for the arrival of the three wise men.

People from Manzanares live like an important feast this day, when the

three wise men arrive to give presents to the little child...
