CHRISTMAS CRIBS IN KRAKOW’S CHURCHES

For a few years it has become my  tradition to visit Christmas Cribs in Krakow’s churches.

Krakow’s churches are interesting from the historical and architectural point of view, but once a year , in January, each one of them becomes even more attractive for visitors  and it is due to  the Christmas Cribs.

Each church has different idea of how to create it ; some  Christmas Cribs are very modest and consist  only of the members  of the Wholy Family,  whereas some others  are  fulfilled with a great diversity of figurines of people and animals and there are also such where you may feel like entering to the city  of Bethlehem.

Such an impressive Christmas Crib  depicting Bethlehem is arranged  in the Bernardine’s church.  While admiring  its detailed and colourful  structure  you may  aslo hear different sounds  of moving figurines. It is an absolute masterpiece and feast for the senses and soul.

Though my favourite Christmas Crib  is the one in St Andrew Church,  it’s small but lovely.
