Christmas in Spain.. Outdoor nativity scenes...

[hollydolly]

I've posted these before in previous years, but not since we changed over forums, so they might be left behind back there.. so here they are again, for everyone who hasn't seen them and those who liked them before...

The major town nearest my village coastal home in Spain create a Huge outdoor nativity scene in the town Church Square for everyone to visit .. for free It's created by local people and children.. and is just a superb work of art. It is there for everyone to see, day and night, for about 2 weeks... and fortunately there's very rarely anything but sunshine at Christmas so it doesn't get destroyed by bad weather

There's a lot of photos.. so I'll add them a few at a time.. You'll be able to gauge the size of the nativity by the people viewing on the edge..

I took these pictures a few years ago using my old fuji finepix camera and not my Iphone, so they're not quite as sharp as they would be using my phone.. ..Enjoy...

The pictures are so pretty. How small are the people in those scenes compared to regular human size? Is there any music while one views the tableaus?

Such a beautiful depiction of the
nativity scene as well as life in the era of Christ. Thanks for sharing, Holly.
