This year’s Living Nativity, by the Community of Jesus of Nazareth Church in Nazzarenu Square, Xaghra, Gozo, opens on Wednesday with the theme – From Bethlehem to Greccio.

It will will take visitors back to the life in Bethlehem when Jesus Christ was born and then on to meet St Francis, who in his great love for the mystery of the incarnation, created a replica of what happened on that Holy Night when our Saviour was born.

Visitors will have the opportunity to meet `the Betlehmites’ at their various posts of living and then move on to encounter the Grecians and their lifestyle in a ‘live’ performance about St Francis and the Nativity of Greccio.

There will also be an exhibition of Christmas items, as well as the new mechanical crib to visit, which has been built by various members of the community at the Jesus of Nazareth Centre.

Traditional home made Christmas delicacies will be on offer during the opening hours. Children will be given a little Christmas gift related to this year’s theme.
