The visit to the Bethlehem closes between shepherds, who offer a memory of Fals, giving heat to the show and wanting to return.

The Bethlehem that began humbly in 1977 and has grown and improved with the efforts of its members, until it became a benchmark for Christmas shows in Bages.

The manger has also been worthy of other sufficiently important awards such as: Prize 7 of Region 7 Scene (1991); Ateneos Award (1992) and the most recent: Young Chamber of Manresa Award (2001).
