Living Nativity in Montalbano Elicona

The living nativity scene of Montalbano Elicona is considered one of the most beautiful living nativity scenes in Sicily.
The living nativity scene, much appreciated for its natural setting, is organized in the oldest part of the medieval village, the Serro district, within little houses now uninhabited but once a safe refuge for families.
The nativity scene is attended by hundreds of figures, young and old, who dress in the manner of the people of Jerusalem and relive the extraordinary event of the nativity in an almost magical atmosphere. The suggestion of the alleys lit by torches, the smell of bread cooking in wood-burning ovens, the noise of the blacksmith that animates the sparks of wrought iron, the flavors of fresh ricotta, cheeses, provola and other typical products of the place offers in the old shops and markets enchants the visitor.
The living nativity scene of Montalbano has been awarded as the best living nativity scene in Sicily .
