The holiday season is now officially here and all around us, and you may have noticed how people in town decorate their homes and business's, and most importantly their church. But the main focus is not your usual x-mas tree... sure it's there in the background, but the spotlight is always the "Nacimiento" (the birthing scene of Jesus Christ), everybody is there; Mary, Joseph, The three Kings and almost any imaginable living creature may be present as well!
The church in San Patricio showcases a live sized "Nacimiento" almost every year, but I like to walk through the streets at night and look in to peoples "Nacimientos" on their windows or front yards, they usually are the most creative!
Also this year one the National Popular Arts Museums "El Museo Nacional de Culturas Populares" offered an exhibition of some the different types of "Nacimientos" created by artisans in their own unique style, but with the same ancient techniques and aesthetic.
Here is the link if you want to check out the exhibit!
