From Bethlehem to Cermenate, through the 5 continents

During the Holy Night, adults and children can look at Bethlehem, at that cave where the history of Christianity began. How? Thanks to the Nativities, the beautiful tradition started with St. Francis which spread all over the world through the Franciscans.

Each culture, each nation has created in time its own version of the Nativity, and nowadays we can find an infinite variety of forms, materials, dimensions, processing methods etc.
