Living nativity scene of l'Espluga de Francolí

From 26/12/2024 to 28/12/2024
L'Espluga de Francolí

In L'Espluga de Francolí, one of the Catalan towns that pioneered the representation of live nativity scenes in 1964, a static live nativity scene is currently represented, the only one of this style in the Tarragona region.

It is an immersive tour where the visitor stops being an external spectator to integrate into the historical scenes, entering houses and streets of the old medieval towns of Espluga Sobirana and Espluga Jussana, at the foot of what remains of the old castle, between the conglomerate rocks that form caves and cavities (esplugues) in the heart of the town.

As if time had stopped, the extras remain frozen, like figures in a manger, following a story that transports us back to the Manger of the first century, on the night of Hanukkah, the festival of light, when Mary and Joseph seek lodging. with difficulty.

Through a sensory and emotional journey, the visitor enters the hostel's kitchen and dining room, the depths of the cellar and the corral, the embers of the bread oven, and the narrow streets that lead to the Roman camp, where César Augusto has summoned by edict to the citizens to register in the census.

The second part of the tour, through the streets of l'Espluga de baix, recreates life in Nazareth days after the birth of the Messiah.

The streets are full of craftsmen and merchants of ceramics, wool and fabrics, roads and coopers, smiths and carpenters, while the women explain in the laundry room what they have heard in the market: the Savior has been born, who is the Messiah, the Lord!!

We wait for you!
