Christmas in Italy


For John, BLUFLink to local blog that talks to Nativity scenes in Naples, Italy.

Well, the title is misleading in that Italy is a such a diverse collection of sub-cultures that there is no single, definitive, Christmas tradition.

A local blog, Keepers of Tradition, has a post on Italians in Massachusetts that talks to the tradition of the presepio, the Christmas Crèche, or nativity scene, in Naples, Italy.  The presepio is one of the charming aspects of the City, with many of them in open air display on Via San Gregorio Armeno, or Crib Street.
