2. NATIVITY
SCENE
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…

3. 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...

4. 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.

5. 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...

6. Nativity scene in Las Palomas square in Manzanares.
Children from our village and our families perform this
typical Christmas scene.

7. Shepherds near the crib.. a very normal image in this type of performance...An
angel announce the "GOOD NEWS" of the birth of JESUS.

8. 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...
