The living cribs in Italy are one of the most characteristic traditions of the Christmas period in Italy, which involves the whole family, from the youngest to the oldest. Italy is full of cities, villages, and historic places that lend themselves well to the scenic representation of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem.
The living crib owes its origin to St. Francis of Assisi, who in 1223 returning from a trip to the holy land, decided to replicate the sacred scene of the nativity in a living way in the village of Greccio, near Rieti. Since then the living crib has increasingly spread as a tradition throughout Italy with every corner of the boot engaging in this ritual at Christmas. Find out which are the best living cribs in Italy, region by region.
