Nativity scene or "Crèche de Noël" in french.
Hello steemians :) I visit the local christmas crèche in the church. Entirely handmade by a local family. It's a masterpiece.
The tradition of these ornamental figures began during the French Revolution in order to replace the nativity scenes.
We can see all the santon figurines who represent handicrafts and all job in a south french village in the past.
Everything is automated (not the figurine but all lights, water, mill...).
Sorry for my english I try my best :p
Have a beautiful day and happy holydays !
And of course the nativity :
I add some backstage so you can see all the work on it !
They set up all in 3 days !
Thank you very much for all your support !
