Dear participants,

with joy and gratitude, we wish to express our sincere thanks to all of you who shared with us the beauty of your nativity scenes on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the first living nativity scene in Greccio.

Your creations were a unique testimony of faith, hope and love, which enriched and enlightened our Christmas spirit.

Every detail, every small representation, has helped to weave a larger story that binds us all in celebration of this ancient tradition.

Your commitment to share your nativity scenes with us, whether they are in your homes, schools, hospitals, communities and many other special places, has made possible the creation of an extraordinary virtual gallery, a digital mosaic reflecting the diversity and richness of this tradition.

Special thanks go to those who shared not only the images of their nativity scenes, but also the context, stories and emotions surrounding them.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making this celebration possible with your generous and creative participation.


Merry Christmas!
