Living Nativity scene by Pezze di Greco.
This event of ours continues to be appreciated and attract numerous visitors every year. There are two secrets to this success.
- The first is given by the unique scenery of the rock village of Lama del Trappeto: it is in these caves and among its olive trees that the route of our nativity scene winds, where the visitor, child or adult, remains enchanted by the world of peasant civilization that comes back to life thanks to the care and enthusiasm of our participants. The animals, the ancient crafts, the smells, the music, the objects and tools of the past lead the visitor into a real laboratory museum of rural civilization, to the rediscovery of our roots and the riches of our territory.
- The second ingredient is given by the center and heart of the Nativity Scene, that is, the living representation of the Christmas of our Lord Jesus.
The Love that emanates from this divine Mystery is the greatest message that our Nativity Scene wants to propose to the visitor. The Grotto of the Nativity, which has been significantly renovated and constitutes one of the most important innovations of this edition, aims to be an “icon” of the Love that God has given us in the incarnation of his Son Jesus, a poor and humble child in Bethlehem , and which pushes us to love our brothers more, especially the poor and the suffering.
The heart of this message, which is fundamental for us, is also expressed by the local and international solidarity and charity initiatives that the Pezze di Greco Living Nativity Association implements every year.
